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. The PC campaign said a "personal issue" with the expected candidate in Waterford Valley, came up at the "11th hour" so the candidate withdrew, and there was not enough time to replace his name on the ballot.

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.
