A series of writs for the election of the 4th General Assembly of Nova Scotia were issued February 2–19, 1765, returnable by March 13, 1765.
The assembly convened on May 28, 1765, held eight sessions, and was dissolved on April 2, 1770.
(Cape) Breton County was also created, and 2 members were elected, but the seats were held not to exist due to insufficient freeholders.
By-elections are special elections held to fill specific vacancies.
When a member is noted as having taking their seat on a certain date, but a by-election isn't noted, the member was elected at the general election but arrived late.
