Polls are now closed in Nova Scotia for federal election day, with an estimated 26% of eligible voters casting ballots in advance polls. This marks the final day of voting in the province, where polls opened at 8:30 a.m. AT and closed at 8:30 p.m. AT [1].

The province has 11 federal electoral districts, with the Liberals holding eight seats and the Conservatives holding three. The results from Nova Scotia will contribute to the broader national picture, as Canadians across the country head to the polls to determine the next prime minister.

According to Elections Canada, an estimated 7.3 million votes were recorded at advance polls across the country, an increase of 25% from the 2021 federal election. On the Friday alone, more than two million people voted, setting a single-day record [2].

The election is being held against the backdrop of increased tensions related to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs and trade war. The two main parties, the Conservatives led by Pierre Poilievre and the Liberals led by Mark Carney, have been in a tight race since the election was called in March 2025 following the resignation of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau [2].

CBC News will provide live coverage of the results, which will be crucial in determining the next prime minister. As voters across the country cast their ballots, the focus will be on key ridings, including the Greater Toronto Area, which has been a significant factor in recent federal elections [2].
