1837 Newfoundland general election
The 1837 Newfoundland general election was held in 1837 to elect members of the 2nd General Assembly of Newfoundland in the Dominion of Newfoundland. The results of the previous election had been set aside by Henry John Boulton after he discovered some of the writs from the previous election had not been marked with the official seal. A number of Liberal reformers who had been elected in 1836 did not run for reelection. However, reformers continued to dominate the assembly.
