When Richmond votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Richmond council | 11 May 2026 | 13 May 2030 |
| Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick | 21 October 2024 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
Provincially the last general election was on 21 October 2024, for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick; federally, on 28 April 2025. After the 11 May 2026 election, Richmond council next goes to the polls on 13 May 2030. That date comes from the Municipal Elections Act, which sets the second Monday in May every four years. 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. The open lists stop short of party labels, council budgets and band councils, so those are missing here.
- 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.
- Which riding. A riding is listed when 5% or more of the place’s 2021 Census residents live in it; the largest share comes first.
- 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.
