Saint Mary’s riding for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick isn’t shown: no open file of the province’s riding boundaries could be found. Saint Mary 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. For local government, Saint Mary is a parish. In New Brunswick, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Saint Mary’s mayor isn’t named.

- Which riding. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
- Election results. Elections Canada redrew the ridings in 2023 and re-tallied the 2021 ballots onto the new map from polling divisions; that estimate, and the official 2019 and 2021 counts on the old map, are what you see.
