# 2021 Newfoundland and Labrador municipal elections

Municipal elections were held in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador on September 28, 2021. This article lists the results in selected municipalities. Results are for mayoral elections unless otherwise specified.
Elections in the communities of Cottlesville and Summerford will be held on October 5, as they were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Newfoundland and Labrador. Furthermore, the council vote in Logy Bay-Middle Cove-Outer Cove will be delayed, as only one candidate came forward. And in Kippens, the election will be held on November 30 due to complaints of harassment on city council.
