From Newfoundland and Labrador come 7 MPs, 4 of them with the Liberal Party of Canada. Mount Pearl’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. Statistics Canada lists Mount Pearl as a city. Mayors and councillors in Newfoundland and Labrador aren’t on any open list, so Mount Pearl’s council goes unnamed here.

When Mount Pearl votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Mount Pearl council | 30 September 2025 | 25 September 2029 |
| House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador | 14 October 2025 | – |

There are no 2025 counts here: Elections Canada’s terms bar their commercial reuse, so 2021 is the latest open result. Mount Pearl council was elected on 30 September 2025, and the next vote is on 25 September 2029. That date comes from the Municipal Elections Act, which sets the last Tuesday in September every four years. Provincially the last general election was on 14 October 2025, for the House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador; federally, on 28 April 2025.

elections.gov.nl.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Not on this page. Who controls the council by party (the open lists give none, and most Canadian councils sit without parties), budgets and band councils.
- Election results. Official counts for 2019 and 2021 are by the 2013 ridings; Elections Canada also re-counted the 2021 ballots onto the 2023 ridings by polling division, and that estimate is what “today’s boundaries” means here.
- Which riding. A riding is listed when 5% or more of the place’s 2021 Census residents live in it; the largest share comes first.
- Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
