New Brunswick Municipal Elections - May 14, 2012


Voters in municipalities across New Brunswick will head to the polls on May 14th, 2012 to elect or re-elect members to represent them, their needs and desires in their municipal governments.

It is important that you go out and vote because:

  1. We live in a democracy, so it is important to exercise your right. Voting is a privilege that is taken for granted far too often. In many nations worldwide, people just like you and I are not fortunate enough to have the right or option to choose their representatives.
  2. By voting, you are showing your interest in community affairs. 
  3. Casting your vote allows you to have an impact on the shaping of your future, and our future.
