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 Wabush in a riding. Locally, Wabush is run as a town. In Newfoundland and Labrador, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Wabush’s mayor isn’t named.
Three governments, and who does what
Wabush, 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.

When Wabush votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Wabush council | 30 September 2025 | 25 September 2029 |
| House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador | 14 October 2025 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
The last general elections came on 14 October 2025 for the House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador and on 28 April 2025 for Parliament. After the 30 September 2025 election, Wabush council next goes to the polls on 25 September 2029. The Municipal Elections Act fixes that date: the last Tuesday in September every four years. No open copy of the 2025 counts exists, and Elections Canada’s own terms rule out commercial reuse, so 2021 is the last vote shown.

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. Elections Canada redrew the ridings in 2023 and re-tallied the 2021 ballots onto the new map from polling divisions; that estimate, and the official 2019 and 2021 counts on the old map, are what you see.
- Which riding. The 2021 Census homes of a place’s residents fix its ridings, and one is shown once it holds 5% of them.
- Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
