Newfoundland town re-elects all-women council with near-perfect voter turnout

October 5, 2025

Residents of a small but busy community in eastern Newfoundland re-elected its all-women council this week with a near-perfect voter turnout.

The few eligible voters who didn’t cast a ballot were away or out fishing, Mayor Kelly Power said in an interview. The 51-year-old was first elected in 2013 alongside four other women, and the council has been made up of women ever since.
