GATINEAU, QC, May 9, 2025 /CNW/ - Chief Electoral Officer of Canada Stéphane Perrault announced today that there will be a judicial recount of the votes in the electoral district of Terra Nova—The Peninsulas (Newfoundland and Labrador).
Following a validation of the results in the electoral district of Terra Nova—The Peninsulas, the difference between the two leading candidates was 12 votes.

The recount will be conducted by Justice Garrett Handrigan of the Superior Court of Newfoundland and Labrador, district of Terra Nova—The Peninsulas, and will begin on Monday, May 12, 2025, at the St. Gabriel's Hall, 254 Ville Marie Drive, Marystown, Newfoundland and Labrador.
