Municipal elections were held in the Canadian province of New Brunswick on May 10, 2021. They were originally supposed to be held May 11, 2020, but were postponed one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic in New Brunswick.[1] Furthermore, elections in some municipalities in Northwestern New Brunswick will be held on May 25[2] due to those areas being under lockdown.[3] Elections will also be held for district education councils and regional health authorities (Horizon Health Network and Vitalité Health Network), plus there are two plebiscites (annexation of the town and parish of Saint-Quentin[4] and allowing people to own hens for non-commercial purposes in Blacks Harbour).[5]

Here is a summary of the mayoral races in the largest municipalities in the province and the council races for the three largest cities. Election results will be released on May 25, following the postponed elections in Northwest New Brunswick.[2]
