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

Newfoundland and Labrador has been aLiberal heartland since it joined Canada in 1949, with only the city ofSt. John's electingProgressive 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 1984Mulroney 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.^[1] 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).^{[citation needed]} 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 theAnything But Conservative movement took hold in Newfoundland and Labrador, the Conservatives lost all their seats to the Liberals and NDP.

In the2011 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.^[2][3]

In the2015 election,Justin Trudeau's Liberals captured every seat in the province (as well as all otherAtlantic provinces), most by landslide majorities.^[4][5] InBonavista—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.

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

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.

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.
