| Candidate | Party | Vote Count | Percentage |

Premierships
Along with the presidential race, the premierships of Boston Province, Nova Scotia, and Vermont were also up for election. In Boston, Valerie Minerva, cousin and close aide of Benjamin Radcliffe, won her first term as premier, thanks in large part to help from her cousin's presence in the national spotlight and campaigning, proving the strength of Radcliffe's name in the province despite his conservative alignment. In Nova Scotia, Iona Ashworth was comfortably re-elected to a second term. In Vermont, Movement candidate Brianna Michaels managed an upset victory over John Hummel to win the premiership in a conservative-leaning province.
