Of the 7 Commons seats from Newfoundland and Labrador, the Liberal Party of Canada holds 4. The House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador’s riding map is published without a licence, so this page doesn’t place Nain in a riding. In the census’s list of municipalities, Nain is a town. In Newfoundland and Labrador, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Nain’s mayor isn’t named.
Three governments, and who does what
Nain, a town in Newfoundland and Labrador, shares the work with the province and Ottawa.
Local services, by-laws and property tax.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.

- Not on this page. Council budgets, band councils, and which party runs the council: the open lists carry no party, and most councils have none.
- Election results. The 2019 and 2021 figures are Elections Canada’s official counts on the ridings drawn in 2013; the “today’s boundaries” figures are its transposition of the 2021 vote onto the 2023 ridings, an estimate built from polling divisions.
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- Who holds each seat. The members named here are Wikidata’s, kept up by volunteers; a by-election or a floor crossing may take a few days to show.
