Canadian federal elections have provided the following results in New Brunswick.
Regional profile
New Brunswick results in federal elections are divided among geographical and linguistic lines: The Liberals fare better in the predominantly francophone eastern and northern sections of the province, while the anglophone south and west has historically tended to favour the Conservatives. In 1993, Saint John was one of only two ridings in the country to go Progressive Conservative, electing Elsie Wayne.
In 1997, the Liberals were reduced to three seats in the province due to unpopular cuts to employment insurance and social programs. The Liberals improved their seat count to six in 2000 after reversing the change.
The Conservatives improved their seat count in each election from 2004 to 2011, until the Liberals swept New Brunswick (along with the rest of Atlantic Canada) in the 2015 election. In 2019, the Conservatives were able to regain 3 seats, while the Greens made history by picking up Fredericton, their first seat outside B.C. Their vote percentage almost quadrupled to 17%, replacing the NDP as the main third party. In 2021 though, support for the Greens collapsed down to 5% with their sole MP having crossed the floor to the Liberals and being re-elected as such. The Liberals widened their popular support but lost one seat to the Conservatives.

Conservative Mike Allen defeated incumbent MP Andy Savoy in Tobique—Mactaquac. In the open seat of Moncton—Riverview—Dieppe, formerly held by Claudette Bradshaw, Brian Murphy kept the seat for the Liberals. There was no change elsewhere.
2004
The Liberals held three seats in the Anglophone south (Fredericton, Fundy and Tobique-Mactaquac), believed to be most vulnerable to the Conservatives. Despite heavy targeting, the Conservatives only managed to reclaim Fundy from John Herron (who defected from the old PC party in 2003). They lost the adjacent seat of Saint John, vacated by the retiring Elsie Wayne, making for a net Liberal gain.
