Electoral Boundaries Commission
2019 Electoral Boundaries Commission
In April 2019, the Electoral Boundaries Commission, chaired by Dr. Colin Dodds, released its final report entitled, Balancing Effective Representation with Voter Parity. This report recommended increasing the number of electoral districts from 51 to 55. The report was accepted and the new electoral boundaries were passed into legislation by the House of Assembly in the fall of 2019.
Information related to the select committee’s report can be found at https://nslegislature.ca/legislative-business/committees/select/select-committee-establishing-electoral-boundaries-commission-2018.
The new 55 district boundaries came into force for the 41st provincial general election held on August 17, 2021.
