In the census’s list of municipalities, Prince William is a parish. In New Brunswick, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Prince William’s mayor isn’t named. No provincial riding is named for Prince William, as no open boundary file exists for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick that we could find. Across New Brunswick, 6 of the 10 MPs sit with the Liberal Party of Canada.

- 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. The 2021 Census homes of a place’s residents fix its ridings, and one is shown once it holds 5% of them.
- Election results. Ridings changed in 2023: the 2019 and 2021 results are on the old map, and the 2021 vote on today’s map is Elections Canada’s own estimate from polling divisions.
- Not on this page. Party control (Canadian councils are mostly elected without parties, and the open lists record none), council budgets, and band councils.
