Results of the 2020 provincial election
New Brunswick has had, since the Legislative Council was abolished by an act passed on 16 April 1891,[1]
a unicameral legislature called the New Brunswick Legislature, consisting of the Lieutenant Governor and the Legislative Assembly with 49 seats. The legislature functions according to the Westminster system of government.[2] Elections are now held at least every five years but may be called at any time by the lieutenant governor (the vice-regal representative) on consultation with the premier.
There are two dominant political parties in New Brunswick, the Liberal Party and the Progressive Conservative Party.[2] From time to time, other parties such as the New Democratic Party, the Confederation of Regions Party, and more recently, the Green Party of New Brunswick and People's Alliance of New Brunswick have held seats in the Legislative Assembly.
