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. The open lists stop short of party labels, council budgets and band councils, so those are missing here.
- 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.
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
