Bouctouche is a town by Statistics Canada’s count of municipalities. No open list of councils exists in New Brunswick, so no mayor of Bouctouche is named here.

Federally, Bouctouche sits in Beauséjour, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP), held by Dominic LeBlanc of the Liberal Party of Canada.

The 2025 results are left out because elections.ca’s terms forbid commercial reproduction; the open catalogue’s latest is 2021. Parliament was last elected on 28 April 2025, and the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick on 21 October 2024. The council elected on 11 May 2026 serves until 13 May 2030, when Bouctouche council is chosen again. That date comes from the Municipal Elections Act, which sets the second Monday in May every four years.
