Coral Harbour’s riding for the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut isn’t shown: no open file of the province’s riding boundaries could be found. Coral Harbour sends one MP to Ottawa from Nunavut, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP): Lori Idlout (Liberal Party of Canada). Locally, Coral Harbour is run as a hamlet. In Nunavut, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Coral Harbour’s mayor isn’t named.

- Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
- 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. The 2019 and 2021 figures are Elections Canada’s official counts on the ridings drawn in 2013; the “today’s boundaries” figures are its transposition of the 2021 vote onto the 2023 ridings, an estimate built from polling divisions.
