In the census’s list of municipalities, Rexton is a village. In New Brunswick, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Rexton’s mayor isn’t named. Rexton 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. No provincial riding is named for Rexton, as no open boundary file exists for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick that we could find.

When Rexton votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Rexton council | 11 May 2026 | 13 May 2030 |
| Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick | 21 October 2024 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
Elected on 11 May 2026, Rexton council is up again on 13 May 2030. That date comes from the Municipal Elections Act, which sets the second Monday in May every four years. Provincially the last general election was on 21 October 2024, for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick; federally, on 28 April 2025. Why not 2025? Elections Canada publishes those counts under non-commercial terms, and its open data stop at the 2021 election.

electionsnb.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Not on this page. Council budgets, band councils, and which party runs the council: the open lists carry no party, and most councils have none.
- Election results. Official counts for 2019 and 2021 are by the 2013 ridings; Elections Canada also re-counted the 2021 ballots onto the 2023 ridings by polling division, and that estimate is what “today’s boundaries” means here.
- Which riding. A place belongs to the riding where most of its 2021 Census residents live, plus any other with 5% or more.
- Who holds each seat. The members named here are Wikidata’s, kept up by volunteers; a by-election or a floor crossing may take a few days to show.
