As of 2011 it has 8,067 eligible voters.<ref>{{cite web|title=Summary of Polling Divisions BAIE VERTE - SPRINGDALE |url=http://www.elections.gov.nl.ca/elections/PDF/District.Descriptions/Baie%20Verte_Springdale%20Polling%20Division%20Descriptions.pdf |publisher=Elections Newfoundland and Labrador |accessdate=3 September 2011 |date=3 August 2011 }}{{dead link|date=October 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> The district was redistributed in 2015. It is currently represented by Lin Paddock who won the seat in a by-election on May 27, 2024.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Three candidates nominated for Baie Verte-Green Bay byelection |url=https://ntv.ca/three-candidates-nominated-for-baie-verte-green-bay-byelection/ |access-date=2024-05-24 |website=NTV |language=en-US}}</ref>
It contains the communities of: Baie Verte, Beachside, Brent's Cove, Brighton, Burlington, Coachman's Cove, Fleur de Lys, King's Point, LaScie, Little Bay, Little Bay Islands, Lushes Bight-Beaumont-Beaumont North, Middle Arm, Miles Cove, Ming's Bight, Nippers Harbour, Pacquet, Pilley's Island, Port Anson, Robert's Arm, Seal Cove, South Brook, Springdale, Tilt Cove, Triton, Westport, Woodstock, Harbour Round, Purbeck's Cove, Wild Cove, Sheppardville, St. Patricks, Round Harbour, Shoe Cove, Smith's Harbour, Snooks Arm, Harry's Harbour, Jackson's Cove-Langdon's Cove, Silverdale, and Rattling Brook.
The economy depends heavily on fishing and sealing. While sealing has done well in recent years, the ground fishery remains poor. Mining operations are taking place in Baie Verte and King's Point, and mineral exploration continues in the area.
The riding was created in 1975 out of parts of White Bay North, White Bay South, and Green Bay.
The district has voted Progressive Conservative since 1982, with the exception of a by-election and the 2015, 2019 and 2021 elections. The district's borders shifted slightly south and west in the new redistribution, taking in small parts of the Humber Valley and the former Grand Falls-Buchans districts.
