Victoria sends Paul Connors (Liberal Party of Canada) to the Commons from Avalon
4 of the 7 MPs from Newfoundland and Labrador belong to the Liberal Party of Canada. The House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador’s riding map is published without a licence, so this page doesn’t place Victoria in a riding. Statistics Canada lists Victoria as a town. No open list of councils exists in Newfoundland and Labrador, so no mayor of Victoria is named here.
Three governments, and who does what
Victoria, a town in Newfoundland and Labrador, shares the work with the province and Ottawa.
Local services, by-laws and property tax.

When Victoria votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.

| House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador | 14 October 2025 | – |

The council elected on 30 September 2025 serves until 25 September 2029, when Victoria council is chosen again. The Municipal Elections Act sets the day: the last Tuesday in September every four years. The House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador was last elected on 14 October 2025, and the House of Commons on 28 April 2025. The latest vote shown is 2021: the 2025 counts carry Elections Canada’s non-commercial terms.

elections.gov.nl.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Not on this page. No council budgets, no band councils, and no party tally for the council, which the open lists don’t record.
- Election results. Where the page says “today’s boundaries”, it means Elections Canada’s estimate of the 2021 vote on the 2023 ridings; every other count is official and on the 2013 map.
- Which riding. Each place is put in its ridings by where its 2021 Census residents live; a riding holding 5% or more of them is listed.
- Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
