When Shippagan votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Shippagan council | 11 May 2026 | 13 May 2030 |
| Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick | 21 October 2024 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
After the 11 May 2026 election, Shippagan 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. Voters last chose the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick on 21 October 2024 and the House of Commons on 28 April 2025. No open copy of the 2025 counts exists, and Elections Canada’s own terms rule out commercial reuse, so 2021 is the last vote shown.

- 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.
- Not on this page. Who controls the council by party (the open lists give none, and most Canadian councils sit without parties), budgets and band councils.
- Who holds each seat. Each MP’s name and party are Wikidata’s statements for the 45th Parliament, read in November 2026.
- 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.
