In the 2025 Canadian federal election, 11 members of Parliament were elected to the House of Commons from the province of Nova Scotia (3.2% of all members).
The 2025 Canadian federal election was the first election to utilize the electoral districts established following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution. The House of Commons increased from 338 seats to 343 seats. Nova Scotia's seat allocation stayed the same at 11 seats. This ensures that the average population per constituency in Nova Scotia is 88,126 (according to the 2021 Canadian census), which is 19,722 less people per electoral district than the national average.[2]
