Remove ads

The 1971 Newfoundland general election was held on 28 October 1971 to elect members of the 35th General Assembly of Newfoundland. It resulted in a hung parliament as, with the support of the Labrador Party's lone MHA, the Smallwood government had the support of 21 MHAs compared to 21 for the Progressive Conservative party. Smallwood ultimately resigned in January 1972 allowing Moores' Tories to form a government but the instability in the House led to the March 24, 1972 provincial election.[3]

Notes

  1. Not the incumbent, but stood in this seat and won
  2. A judicial recount was initiated in this riding. However, it was discovered during the process that the deputy returning officer had accidentally burned the 106 ballots for the community of Sally's Cove, which made it impossible to complete the recount. Consequently, the Supreme Court of Newfoundland decreed that Maynard had been elected. The initial results of the election are shown here in italics.[4]
