New Brunswick electoral redistribution

New Brunswick electoral redistribution

Unlike most other provinces and the federal government, the province of New Brunswick until very recently had no statutory mechanism for electoral district redistribution. Thus, redistributions were not predictable and occurred only when consensus in the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick demanded it. Throughout most of New Brunswick's early history redistribution was a result of the addition of new counties, upon which the districts were based, which expanded from seven in 1785 to fifteen in 1874.

Starting in 2005-2006, electoral distributions were undertaken under statutory requirements first immediately thereafter and after every decennial Canadian census starting in 2011.
