Students who are ordinarily resident in one electoral district or region of New Brunswick but are attending a post-secondary institution elsewhere in the province, have the unique opportunity to have their name placed either on the voters list in their “home” electoral district or region and vote for a candidate in that district or region, or to have their name placed on the voters list for the electoral district or region where they are living while going to school.
If a student from another province declares that New Brunswick is now their home, or “ordinary residence”, and has lived in New Brunswick for at least 40 days, that person can apply to be put on the voters list and to vote.
