The 2021 Newfoundland and Labrador general election was held on March 25, 2021, to elect members of the 50th General Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador.[3]
Under the province's fixed election date law, the vote was tentatively scheduled for October 10, 2023, but a caveat in the law mandates that an election must be held within one year of a new Premier assuming office.[4] Premier 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.[3]
However, an unexpected COVID-19 surge in the week leading up to the election caused voting to be delayed on the Avalon Peninsula,[5] before all in-person voting was eventually cancelled, delaying the election for every district until March 1, 2021.[6] After several more delays, the final mail-in ballot deadline became March 25, 2021.[7] [8] The election was the first mail-in-only election in Canada.[9] Preliminary results were released by noon on March 27,[10] which projected a majority government for Andrew Furey and the Liberal Party.[11]

Campaign
Party platforms
At the start of the campaign, incumbent Liberal Premier Andrew Furey framed the election around the economy, by focusing on the provincial debt, the oil industry, and government spending.[3] There are $55M worth of expenses proposed.[47]
With a similar focus on the economy, PC leader Ches Crosbie emphasized the importance of creating jobs through infrastructure projects, eliminating regulations, and cutting taxes. Meanwhile, NDP leader Alison Coffin centred her priorities on health care and affordable living.
Initial election call and reaction
Prior to the election being called, the provincial government made a series of announcements involving new spending programs and reached agreements with several unions.[3] The timing of these announcements received disapproval from the PCs.[3] The Liberals were also criticized by the PCs and NDP for calling an election during the winter and the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] Both of the opposition parties suggested that the Liberals should have waited until recommendations were made by the premier's economic recovery team, which was scheduled to release an interim report at the end of February and a final report at the end of April.[3] Despite their criticism, the PCs and NDP indicated that they were prepared for the election.[3]
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Elections NL issued lengthy guidelines for candidates, with parties placing a larger emphasis on social media rather than door-to-door canvassing, large rallies or visits to seniors' homes.[3] In order to avoid crowds on election day, Elections NL focused efforts on voting by mail and scheduled the election on a Saturday for the first time in the province's history.[3] Additionally, the Liberals did not allow members of the media on the party's campaign bus, citing "COVID-19 protocols".[3]
Early voting has increased.[48]
Surge in COVID-19 cases during campaign
On February 8, the province confirmed its first case of community spread of COVID-19 since April 2020. Since the deadlines for voting early or by mail had already passed, it raised concerns about if the election should still go ahead as planned. Chief Electoral Officer Bruce Chaulk stated that no provisions existed that allowed people in isolation to vote, and that the election would proceed as intended.[49]
On February 9, PC candidate Damian Follett suspended in-person campaigning after his son tested positive for COVID-19.[50] On February 12, Follett announced that he had tested positive himself.[51] On the same day, PC candidate Rhonda Simms also suspended in-person campaigning after an individual who had visited her headquarters later tested presumptive positive.[52]
On February 10, Elections NL announced that there would be a 'drive-thru' voting option for the increasing number of people who were in self-isolation.[53] However, this option was later scrapped, as it went against a medical advisory which stated that those self-isolating should not leave their property.[54] On February 11, Chief Electoral Officer Bruce Chaulk issued a letter requesting that party leaders meet with Lieutenant Governor Judy Foote to discuss delaying the election.[55] Chaulk announced later that day that in-person voting would be delayed to a later date on the Avalon Peninsula but would go ahead as planned elsewhere.[5] The following day, Chaulk announced that no in-person voting would take place soon after it was confirmed that the recent COVID-19 cases were the Variant of Concern 202012/01.[6]
Withdrawn candidates
In January 2021, the leader of the Newfoundland and Labrador Alliance Graydon Pelley withdrew his candidacy in Humber-Gros Morne following a medical emergency.[56]
Issues
There were claims that sexism and misogyny has affected women candidates on the campaign trail.[57]

Results
The Liberals regained their parliamentary majority.[150] The PC and NDP leaders lost their seats in the legislature.[151] On March 31, 2021, Ches Crosbie resigned as PC leader.[152] [153]
NDP leader Coffin filed for a recount in her district.[154] On May 12, 2021, Supreme Court Justice Donald Burrage rejected Coffin's bid for a recount, arguing that there was not sufficient evidence.[155] On October 16, 2021, Coffin lost a leadership review by party members.[156] She later chose to resign on October 19 and was replaced by MHA Jim Dinn as interim leader.[157]
Defeated PC candidates Jim Lester and Sheila Fitzgerald also filed legal challenges to the results in their respective districts.
The election was noteworthy in the election of 3 independent candidates, the most of any past election.
