List of post-confederation New Brunswick general elections

Prior to 1892, New Brunswick had a bicameral legislature, but its Upper House – the Legislative Council – was not elected.

The date may be varied by one week earlier or later in cases of the fourth Monday of September being a date of cultural or religious significance and may be varied one month earlier or later in cases of a federal election being held during the same period.

The llieutenant governor of New Brunswick also has the power to call an election on another date in the event of a loss of confidence in the legislature.

It shows that New Brunswick has effectively a two-party system – the Liberals (red) and the Conservatives (blue); along with the one-off success of the Confederation of Regions party (green) in 1991.

Since 1974, each riding (electoral district) has elected only one member to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick.
