Transposition of Votes Report
Transposition of Votes from the 2017 Provincial General Election to 2019 Electoral District Boundaries
Media Release: Friday, April 9, 2021
Elections Nova Scotia – In the fall of 2019, the House of Assembly legislated 55 electoral district boundaries as recommended by the Electoral Boundaries Commission. These new district boundaries will be used for the 41st provincial general election in Nova Scotia when it is called.
When new electoral boundaries are enacted, Elections Nova Scotia prepares a report to illustrate the transposition of votes from the previous provincial general election based on the new electoral boundaries.

The report illustrates how the votes from the 2017 provincial general election fit with the new 2019 electoral boundaries and outlines the methodology used to determine which party would have come first and which second within the new electoral district boundaries.

Nova Scotia is the only province in Canada without a fixed election date. Given that the 40th provincial general election was held on May 30, 2017, the spring of 2022 is the latest possible time the 41st provincial general election could occur.
