Without an open map of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick’s ridings, this page can’t say which one Lincoln is in. John Williamson represents 60% of Lincoln in the Commons, while David Myles covers the bulk of the rest. In the census’s list of municipalities, Lincoln is a parish. Mayors and councillors in New Brunswick aren’t on any open list, so Lincoln’s council goes unnamed here.

When Lincoln votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Lincoln council | 11 May 2026 | 13 May 2030 |
| Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick | 21 October 2024 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
No open copy of the 2025 counts exists, and Elections Canada’s own terms rule out commercial reuse, so 2021 is the last vote shown. Voters last chose the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick on 21 October 2024 and the House of Commons on 28 April 2025. Lincoln council was elected on 11 May 2026, and the next vote is on 13 May 2030. That date comes from the Municipal Elections Act, which sets the second Monday in May every four years.

electionsnb.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Who holds each seat. MPs come from Wikidata’s records of the 45th Parliament, which can lag a resignation or a by-election by some days.
- Which riding. A place belongs to the riding where most of its 2021 Census residents live, plus any other with 5% or more.
- 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.
- Not on this page. No council budgets, no band councils, and no party tally for the council, which the open lists don’t record.
