When Springfield votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Springfield council | 11 May 2026 | 13 May 2030 |
| Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick | 21 October 2024 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
Parliament was last elected on 28 April 2025, and the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick on 21 October 2024. After the 11 May 2026 election, Springfield 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.
