The Liberal Party of Canada has 11 of the 11 MPs elected in Nova Scotia. For local government, Digby is a municipal district. No open list of councils exists in Nova Scotia, so no mayor of Digby is named here. Without an open map of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly’s ridings, this page can’t say which one Digby is in.

Digby, a municipal district in Nova Scotia, shares the work with the province and Ottawa.

When Digby votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Digby council | 19 October 2024 | 21 October 2028 |
| Nova Scotia House of Assembly | 26 November 2024 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
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. Voters last chose Digby council on 19 October 2024 and will again on 21 October 2028. The Municipal Elections Act fixes that date: the third Saturday in October every four years. The last general elections came on 26 November 2024 for the Nova Scotia House of Assembly and on 28 April 2025 for Parliament.

- Not on this page. Band councils, municipal budgets and party control are left out; most councils sit without parties anyway.
- Who holds each seat. A member who resigned or switched parties last week may still show here: the names are Wikidata’s.
- 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.
