For local government, Cocagne is a rural community. Mayors and councillors in New Brunswick aren’t on any open list, so Cocagne’s council goes unnamed here. The Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick’s ridings aren’t published as open data we could find, so Cocagne isn’t placed in one. Cocagne is in Beauséjour, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP), and the seat belongs to Dominic LeBlanc of the Liberal Party of Canada.

- Election results. The 2019 and 2021 figures are Elections Canada’s official counts on the ridings drawn in 2013; the “today’s boundaries” figures are its transposition of the 2021 vote onto the 2023 ridings, an estimate built from polling divisions.
- Not on this page. The open lists stop short of party labels, council budgets and band councils, so those are missing here.
- Who holds each seat. Wikidata, edited by volunteers, is the source for each MP, and it can trail a change of seat by a little.
- Which riding. Each place is put in its ridings by where its 2021 Census residents live; a riding holding 5% or more of them is listed.
