Voters across New Brunswick will head to the polls on Monday to elect their local government representatives. The elections will determine mayors, councillors, and other municipal officials for communities throughout the province.
Election Day Details
Polling stations will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time. Elections NB has reminded residents to bring proper identification, including a driver's license or other government-issued photo ID. Advance polls were held earlier this month, with turnout reported as moderate.
Key Races to Watch
In Saint John, incumbent Mayor Donna Reardon faces challengers in a competitive race. Fredericton and Moncton will also see closely watched mayoral contests. Several municipal councils have multiple candidates vying for seats, reflecting strong community interest.
Elections NB has implemented measures to ensure safe and accessible voting, including curbside voting options for those with mobility challenges. The agency has also emphasized the importance of verifying voter registration before heading to the polls.
Background
Local government elections in New Brunswick occur every four years. The last municipal elections were held in 2022. This year's elections come amid ongoing discussions about regional governance, property taxes, and infrastructure funding.
Results are expected to be released by Elections NB starting Monday evening. Residents can check the agency's website for unofficial results as they become available.
