There are no 2025 counts here: Elections Canada’s terms bar their commercial reuse, so 2021 is the latest open result. Voters last chose the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick on 21 October 2024 and the House of Commons on 28 April 2025. The council elected on 11 May 2026 serves until 13 May 2030, when Saint-Quentin council is chosen again. 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
- 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.
- Not on this page. No council budgets, no band councils, and no party tally for the council, which the open lists don’t record.
- 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. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
