4 of the 7 MPs from Newfoundland and Labrador belong to the Liberal Party of Canada. Statistics Canada lists Irishtown-Summerside as a town. In Newfoundland and Labrador, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Irishtown-Summerside’s mayor isn’t named. Irishtown-Summerside’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.

- Election results. Two maps are in play: the 2013 ridings, on which 2019 and 2021 were counted, and the 2023 ridings, onto which Elections Canada transposed the 2021 vote poll by poll.
- Not on this page. Band councils, municipal budgets and party control are left out; most councils sit without parties anyway.
- Who holds each seat. A member who resigned or switched parties last week may still show here: the names are Wikidata’s.
- Which riding. The 2021 Census homes of a place’s residents fix its ridings, and one is shown once it holds 5% of them.
