The 2021 Newfoundland and Labrador general election is due to be held on March 25, 2021, to elect members of the 50th General Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador. Originally due for October 2023, the law mandates that an election must be held within one year of a new Premier assuming office. Premier Andrew Furey assumed the role on August 19, 2020, and requested to Lieutenant Governor Judy Foote to issue the writs of election on January 15, 2021. With COVID still dominating the scene will the election all run to plan?
Campaign notes:
Election night results will report effectively all in one go to simulate the the official election night where all riding results were reported by Elections Newfoundland and Labrador at the same time.
Advertising ends 51 days before the end of the campaign as per the start date of the official electoral silence period.
Version 2.0 – Advertising ends 1 day before polling day (as per Govt. statement)

?There is no electoral silence in new foundland and labrador.
Thanks for letting me know, according to Elections Newfoundland there is usually ‘Media Advertising’ ban after a certain date.
I’ve just read that said it was revoked and rescheduled due to the suspension of the vote. (https://www.gov.nl.ca/releases/2021/elections/0212n06/)
I’ll release a update to this scenario with a fix.
