Federal election latest updates: Conservatives, NDP try to win seats from Liberals in Atlantic Canada
CBC
Results — including CBC's first projected win — have begun trickling in after polls in the 2021 federal election closed, first in Newfoundland and Labrador, then the rest of Atlantic Canada.
Liberal Seamus O'Regan, the natural resources minister when the election was called, is projected to win re-election in St. John's South–Mount Pearl.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led many to vote by special ballot (1,267,014 ballots have been mailed out and 951,039 returned as of Sept. 20, according to Elections Canada). That means it could take a while before you know who won and lost, especially in ridings where polling conducted during the 36-day campaign suggests the margin is razor thin.
However, Elections Canada told CBC News soon after those polls closed that it expects close to 95 per cent of those ballots to be counted tonight.
