Historically, the riding was consistently held by the "free enterprise" party of the era. Until 1952, this alternated between the BC Liberals and the Coalition, while after the election in 1952, Social Credit won every election until the BC NDP victory in 1972.
Since 1972, the NDP has won all but two elections: in the 1986 election, Social Credit won the riding along with many others in the Interior and in 2001, prominent NDP Cabinet minister Corky Evans was defeated in an election that saw all but two NDP MLAs suffer defeat. Since the 2005 election, the NDP has won the riding by wide margins.
As of the 2020 provincial election, Nelson-Creston comprises the eastern portion of the Regional District of Central Kootenay. It is located in southeastern British Columbia and is bordered by the United States to the south. Communities in the electoral district consist of Nelson, Creston, Salmo, and Kaslo.[1]
