In the census’s list of municipalities, Botsford is a parish. In New Brunswick, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Botsford’s mayor isn’t named. The riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP) covering Botsford is Beauséjour, and Dominic LeBlanc (Liberal Party of Canada) represents it in the House of Commons. Without an open map of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick’s ridings, this page can’t say which one Botsford is in.

- Not on this page. The open lists stop short of party labels, council budgets and band councils, so those are missing here.
- Election results. Where the page says “today’s boundaries”, it means Elections Canada’s estimate of the 2021 vote on the 2023 ridings; every other count is official and on the 2013 map.
- Which riding. The 2021 Census homes of a place’s residents fix its ridings, and one is shown once it holds 5% of them.
- Who holds each seat. A member who resigned or switched parties last week may still show here: the names are Wikidata’s.
