In the census’s list of municipalities, Yarmouth is a town. In Nova Scotia, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Yarmouth’s mayor isn’t named. No provincial riding is named for Yarmouth, as no open boundary file exists for the Nova Scotia House of Assembly that we could find. Across Nova Scotia, 11 of the 11 MPs sit with the Liberal Party of Canada.
Three governments, and who does what
Yarmouth, a town in Nova Scotia, shares the work with the province and Ottawa.

When Yarmouth votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Yarmouth council | 19 October 2024 | 21 October 2028 |
| Nova Scotia House of Assembly | 26 November 2024 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
Provincially the last general election was on 26 November 2024, for the Nova Scotia House of Assembly; federally, on 28 April 2025. The council elected on 19 October 2024 serves until 21 October 2028, when Yarmouth council is chosen again. The Municipal Elections Act sets the day: the third Saturday in October every four years. Why not 2025? Elections Canada publishes those counts under non-commercial terms, and its open data stop at the 2021 election.

- Who holds each seat. MPs come from Wikidata’s records of the 45th Parliament, which can lag a resignation or a by-election by some days.
- 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.
- 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. Party control (Canadian councils are mostly elected without parties, and the open lists record none), council budgets, and band councils.
