The provincial authority responsible for governing Nova Scotia, Canada, operates under the Constitution Act, 1867, and is comprised of three branches: the Legislature, the Executive Branch, and the Judicial Branch. The Legislature includes the Lieutenant Governor and an elected House of Assembly with 55 members. The Executive Council, under the leadership of the Premier, manages day-to-day government operations and public service delivery, while the Judicial Branch handles the interpretation of laws and the administration of justice.

As a central pillar of the province, the government delivers a wide range of services such as legislative functions, public administration, economic development, cultural programming, environmental protection, and public health initiatives. Major departments focus on sectors including health, education, community services, and natural resources, primarily benefiting the residents and communities of Nova Scotia—individuals, families, businesses, and organizations. The current administration is guided by the Progressive Conservative Association of Nova Scotia led by Premier Tim Houston.
