From Nova Scotia come 11 MPs, 11 of them with the Liberal Party of Canada. In the census’s list of municipalities, Lunenburg is a town. Mayors and councillors in Nova Scotia aren’t on any open list, so Lunenburg’s council goes unnamed here. The Nova Scotia House of Assembly’s ridings aren’t published as open data we could find, so Lunenburg isn’t placed in one.
Three governments, and who does what
Lunenburg, a town in Nova Scotia, shares the work with the province and Ottawa.

- 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.
- 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.
- Who holds each seat. A member who resigned or switched parties last week may still show here: the names are Wikidata’s.
- Which riding. The 2021 Census homes of a place’s residents fix its ridings, and one is shown once it holds 5% of them.
