Nominations have closed for the upcoming New Brunswick local government elections in November.
Residents who were interested in running had until 2 p.m. Friday to put their names forward.
First elections will be held in 50 local governments on Nov. 28 to elect entirely new councils.
Nine other communities will hold byelections to fill new council positions created during the local governance reform process.
First elections will also be held in 12 newly-created rural districts to elect members to their rural district advisory committee.
There will be no elections in 18 communities as they were not impacted by the municipal reform or the number of voters in the local government increased by less than 15 per cent.
Those communities include Belledune, Campobello Island, Dieppe, Fredericton, Fredericton Junction, Grand Manan, McAdam, Memramcook, Miramichi, Moncton, Neguac, New Maryland, Quispamsis, Riverview, Rothesay, Saint John, Tracy, and Upper Miramichi.
