With no licence on the House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador’s ridings map, Whitbourne isn’t placed in a riding here. Statistics Canada lists Whitbourne as a town. In Newfoundland and Labrador, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Whitbourne’s mayor isn’t named. From Newfoundland and Labrador come 7 MPs, 4 of them with the Liberal Party of Canada.
Three governments, and who does what
Whitbourne, a town in Newfoundland and Labrador, shares the work with the province and Ottawa.

When Whitbourne votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Whitbourne council | 30 September 2025 | 25 September 2029 |
| House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador | 14 October 2025 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
Why not 2025? Elections Canada publishes those counts under non-commercial terms, and its open data stop at the 2021 election. The council elected on 30 September 2025 serves until 25 September 2029, when Whitbourne council is chosen again. That date comes from the Municipal Elections Act, which sets the last Tuesday in September every four years. Voters last chose the House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador on 14 October 2025 and the House of Commons on 28 April 2025.

- 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. Each MP’s name and party are Wikidata’s statements for the 45th Parliament, read in November 2026.
- 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. Two maps are in play: the 2013 ridings, on which 2019 and 2021 were counted, and the 2023 ridings, onto which Elections Canada transposed the 2021 vote poll by poll.
