The Liberal Party of Canada has 4 of the 7 MPs elected in Newfoundland and Labrador. Burin’s riding for the House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador isn’t shown: the province’s boundary file states no licence, so it can’t be reused. Burin is a town by Statistics Canada’s count of municipalities. This page names no head of council for Burin, as no open list of councils exists in Newfoundland and Labrador.

elections.gov.nl.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Not on this page. Party control (Canadian councils are mostly elected without parties, and the open lists record none), council budgets, and band councils.
- Election results. Ridings changed in 2023: the 2019 and 2021 results are on the old map, and the 2021 vote on today’s map is Elections Canada’s own estimate from polling divisions.
- Which riding. The 2021 Census homes of a place’s residents fix its ridings, and one is shown once it holds 5% of them.
- Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
