Advance polling opened on May 21. Lin Paddock of the Progressive Conservative Party of Newfoundland and Labrador won the election.
Candidates
Three candidates registered for the election:
- Owen Burt (Liberal) - federal Conservative.
- Riley Harnett (NDP)
- Lin Paddock (PC) - Worked in the Canadian Armed Forces. Criticized for saying "we need to recruit in areas that love this [area], places like Germany where they adore the outdoors, not India and Pakistan where they will come here and then go to Toronto" during a debate. Later said it was a poor choice of words.
