Nominations have officially closed and the candidates seeking a seat in the House of Assembly in St. John's are confirmed. 

The Liberals have a full slate of 40, with all sitting MHAs seeking re-election. Former Liberal cabinet minister, then Independent, Dale Kirby is noticeably not seeking re-election as an Independent.

As for the Progressive Conservative Party, it has 39 candidates — only Waterford Valley does not have someone from that party in the running.

"Unfortunately, our candidate in Waterford Valley could not file with Elections NL today due to an unexpected personal issue. We wish Mr. Harlick the best in his future endeavours," a PC spokesperson said in an email. 

There are 14 people running for the New Democratic Party and nine for the recently established NL Alliance.

A total of nine people are running as Independents.

There are 16 two-way races. 

Below is a list of each district and the candidates that have been nominated for each party.
