Canadian federal election results in Newfoundland and Labrador

Canadian federal elections have provided the following results in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Regional profile Newfoundland and Labrador has been a Liberal heartland since it joined Canada in 1949, with only the city of St. John's electing Progressive Conservatives on a relatively consistent basis in the past, though that support shifted to the NDP and Liberals in 2006 and to the NDP in the 2008 elections. Even in the 1984 Mulroney landslide, more rural and remote seats went Liberal than PC. The Conservatives picked up one seat in the 2006 election, but the Liberals still held a majority of the seats. Party preference in Newfoundland has a lot to do with religion, where Catholics tend to vote Conservative and Protestants Liberal (contrary to the rest of the country). The 1968, 1972, and 1984 federal elections were the only ones since Newfoundland's entry into Confederation in which the Liberals did not win a majority of seats in Newfoundland and Labrador.

In 2008, as the Anything But Conservative movement took hold in Newfoundland and Labrador, the Conservatives lost all their seats to the Liberals and NDP.

In the 2011 election, Newfoundland and Labrador was the only province in which the Liberal Party won the overall popular vote (during the party's historic nationwide collapse and fall to third place), in addition to a majority of the province's seats. However, they lost two seats: one to the Conservatives and one to the NDP.

In the 2015 election, Justin Trudeau's Liberals captured every seat in the province (as well as all other Atlantic provinces), most by landslide majorities. In Bonavista—Burin—Trinity, they received 81.78% of the vote, the highest share obtained by any party in any riding in that election. This marks the most recent time the Liberals swept the province's seats; in following elections, the Liberals would continue to maintain a decisive advantage in the province.

2006

The Liberals won four seats and the Conservatives three. The open Avalon seat changed hands from the Liberals to the Tories. The seat had been held by Natural Resources Minister John Efford, who had retired. Otherwise, there was little change from the previous election.

2004

One of the biggest questions of the 2004 election was whether the new Conservative Party of Canada could match the old federal PC Party's level of support in Atlantic Canada. With Newfoundland and Labrador's provincial PC government unpopular over mandating an end to the previous year's public service strike, any province-wide success for 2004 was seen as unlikely. The Conservatives lost one of their three seats (previously gained in a byelection) and held their rump in St. John's. Des McGrath was seen as the NDP's best chance of electing a candidate in the province in several decades, but he still fell nearly 4000 votes short of winning Random—Burin—St. George's.

2000

Despite a slight gain compared to the Reform Party's results in the province in 1997, the Canadian Alliance obtained its worst provincial share of votes in Newfoundland and Labrador.

1997

As with the other Atlantic Canadian provinces, the Progressive Conservatives maintained a foothold in Newfoundland by gaining three seats from the Liberals, and the Reform Party failed to make inroads in the region.
