St. Lawrence’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. For local government, St. Lawrence is a town. This page names no head of council for St. Lawrence, as no open list of councils exists in Newfoundland and Labrador. Of the 7 Commons seats from Newfoundland and Labrador, the Liberal Party of Canada holds 4.

elections.gov.nl.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which riding. A place belongs to the riding where most of its 2021 Census residents live, plus any other with 5% or more.
- Who holds each seat. Wikidata, edited by volunteers, is the source for each MP, and it can trail a change of seat by a little.
- Not on this page. The open lists stop short of party labels, council budgets and band councils, so those are missing here.
- 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.
