Of the 10 Commons seats from New Brunswick, the Liberal Party of Canada holds 6. Without an open map of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick’s ridings, this page can’t say which one Beresford is in. Locally, Beresford is run as a parish. In New Brunswick, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Beresford’s mayor isn’t named.

- Not on this page. Council budgets, band councils, and which party runs the council: the open lists carry no party, and most councils have none.
- Election results. Two maps are in play: the 2013 ridings, on which 2019 and 2021 were counted, and the 2023 ridings, onto which Elections Canada transposed the 2021 vote poll by poll.
- Which riding. A riding is listed when 5% or more of the place’s 2021 Census residents live in it; the largest share comes first.
- Who holds each seat. A member who resigned or switched parties last week may still show here: the names are Wikidata’s.
