Elections Nova Scotia is the non-partisan agency in Nova Scotia, of the legislative assembly charged with running provincial elections and administering provincial referendums.[1] The Elections Act 2011 established Elections Nova Scotia as an independent, professional elections organization whose budget is approved directly by the legislature,[1] and the act specifies that "The Office of the Chief Electoral Officer is to be known as Elections Nova Scotia."[2][3][4]
