11 of the 11 MPs from Nova Scotia belong to the Liberal Party of Canada. The Nova Scotia House of Assembly’s ridings aren’t published as open data we could find, so North End isn’t placed in one. North End is part of Halifax, whose council is led by Andy Fillmore, the mayor.
Three governments, and who does what
North End is governed by Halifax, with Nova Scotia and Ottawa.
The city council decides local matters.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.

When North End votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Halifax council | 19 October 2024 | 21 October 2028 |
| Nova Scotia House of Assembly | 26 November 2024 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
After the 19 October 2024 election, Halifax council next goes to the polls on 21 October 2028. Councils are elected on the third Saturday in October every four years, says the Municipal Elections Act, so Halifax votes next on 21 October 2028. Parliament was last elected on 28 April 2025, and the Nova Scotia House of Assembly on 26 November 2024. The 2025 results are left out because elections.ca’s terms forbid commercial reproduction; the open catalogue’s latest is 2021.

electionsnovascotia.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Not on this page. Council budgets, band councils, and which party runs the council: the open lists carry no party, and most councils have none.
- 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. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
- 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.
