Redistribution of electoral boundaries
The 1967 New Brunswick electoral redistribution was the first redistribution of electoral district boundaries in the New Brunswick, Canada, since 1926, and the first change in number of members since 1946.
At the time, New Brunswick operated on electoral districts with fixed boundaries, and the number of members to which they were entitled varied based upon their respective population. From 1926 to 1967, each of the province's 15 counties was a district. The cities of Saint John and Moncton were districts in their own rights. These districts elected members using the bloc voting system.
Under this redistribution, all six of New Brunswick's cities became electoral districts, and Saint John County was split into two districts, creating a total of 22 ridings.A Proposed Electoral Map for New Brunswick, Preliminary Report of the Electoral Boundaries and Representation Commission https://www.legnb.ca/content/legislature/publications/2005-11-21%20Preliminary%20Report%20of%20the%20Electoral%20Boundaries%20and%20Representation%20Commission.pdf Electoral Boundaries and Representation Commission, Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick 27 June 2025 21 November 2005
For the first time since 1946, this created several districts that returned only one member using the first past the post system.
