Richmond (Nova Scotia provincial electoral district)
Richmond was a provincial electoral district in Nova Scotia, Canada, which existed at various times throughout the province's history. It generally covered the area corresponding to Richmond County.
The district was created and dissolved several times. Representation for Richmond County was not consistent, sometimes electing one member and at other times electing two.
Historically, the riding's boundaries have fluctuated depending on population shifts and electoral boundary revisions conducted by the Nova Scotia Electoral Boundaries Commission. Candidates were elected using the first-past-the-post electoral system.
Further research using archival records from the Nova Scotia House of Assembly and Elections Nova Scotia is recommended to determine the precise dates of creation, dissolution, and boundary changes for each iteration of the Richmond electoral district. The names of elected representatives, their political affiliations, and election results can be found through these sources as well.
