New Electoral Boundaries for the 41st Provincial General Election
New Electoral Boundaries for the 41st Provincial General Election
Media Release: Monday, July 26, 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 55 new district boundaries are in place and being used for the 41st provincial general election currently underway in Nova Scotia.
Information on the 55 electoral boundaries, including maps and a tool to help voters locate their district are available on the Elections Nova Scotia website at electionsnovascotia.ca.
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. A report illustrating how the votes from the 2017 provincial general election fit with the new 2019 electoral boundaries is also available on the Elections Nova Scotia website.
The report outlines the methodology used to determine which party would have come first and which second within the new electoral district boundaries.
Elections Nova Scotia is a non-partisan and independent agency responsible for conducting provincial elections. For more information, please visit electionsnovascotia.ca, call 1-800-565-1504, and follow us on Facebook and Twitter @electionsns.
