framed the election around the economy, by focusing on the provincial debt, the oil industry, and government spending. There are $55M worth of expenses proposed.
With a similar focus on the economy, PC leader Ches Crosbie emphasized the importance of creating jobs through infrastructure projects, eliminating regulations, and cutting taxes. Meanwhile, NDP leader Alison Coffin centred her priorities on health care and affordable living.
Initial election call and reaction
Prior to the election being called, the provincial government made a series of announcements involving new spending programs and reached agreements with several unions. The timing of these announcements received disapproval from the PCs. The Liberals were also criticized by the PCs and NDP for calling an election during the winter and the

Both of the opposition parties suggested that the Liberals should have waited until recommendations were made by the premier's economic recovery team, which was scheduled to release an interim report at the end of February and a final report at the end of April.

In order to avoid crowds on election day, Elections NL focused efforts on voting by mail and scheduled the election on a Saturday for the first time in the province's history. Additionally, the Liberals did not allow members of the media on the party's campaign bus, citing "COVID-19 protocols".

Surge in COVID-19 cases during campaign
On February 8, the province confirmed its first case of community spread of COVID-19 since April 2020. Since the deadlines for voting early or by mail had already passed, it raised concerns about if the election should still go ahead as planned. Chief Electoral Officer Bruce Chaulk stated that no provisions existed that allowed people in isolation to vote, and that the election would proceed as intended.
On February 9, PC candidate Damian Follett suspended in-person campaigning after his son tested positive for COVID-19. On February 12, Follett announced that he had tested positive himself. On the same day, PC candidate Rhonda Simms also suspended in-person campaigning after an individual who had visited her headquarters later tested presumptive positive.
On February 10, Elections NL announced that there would be a 'drive-thru' voting option for the increasing number of people who were in self-isolation. However, this option was later scrapped, as it went against a medical advisory which stated that those self-isolating should not leave their property. On February 11, Chief Electoral Officer Bruce Chaulk issued a letter requesting that party leaders meet with Lieutenant Governor
