2022 New Brunswick municipal elections

The 2022 New Brunswick municipal elections were held in the Canadian province of New Brunswick on 28 November 2022 to elect mayors and councillors in newly formed municipalities following the 2023 New Brunswick local governance reform process. The new municipalities came into existence on 1 January 2023.

In total, there were elections for 50 new municipalities and 12 rural districts, with a total of 446 elected positions. Of the 446 positions, 148 seats were elected by acclamation. 12 positions had no candidates stand for election and were to be filled in by-elections held on February 13 and October 23 of 2023. In addition, 13 elections were subject to recounts which took place between 1 December 2022 and 9 December 2022. Two recounts resulted in a change to the vote totals, but neither of these changed the winners of the elections.

Elections were not held in municipalities such as Moncton, Saint John and Fredericton which were not affected by the local governance reform, while others which saw minor changes only held elections in the areas that were added to their territory.
