From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of electoral districts or ridings in Canada for the Canadian federal election of 1949. In 1947, ten new districts were created, but Newfoundland became a province in 1949, adding seven new districts. There were no elections held between 1947 and 1949, and there were no by-elections held in Newfoundland after joining confederation.
