Clare (electoral district)


Clare is a former provincial electoral district in Nova Scotia, Canada which existed between 1949-2013. Prior to 1949, Clare was part of Digby district. It elected one member of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly. In its last configuration, the electoral district included the Municipality of the District of Clare, an Acadian area occupying the southwestern half of Digby County. For four consecutive elections from 1988 to 1999, the district had the highest voter turnout in the province.
The electoral district was abolished following the 2012 electoral boundary review and was largely replaced by the new electoral district of Clare-Digby.
