No spending limits 🗳️

New Brunswick’s municipal election is coming up in May, and once again there are no rules around campaign spending or donor disclosure. Provincial and federal elections have limits. Municipal ones don’t.

The province says changes are coming…just not until 2030.

Does a gap like this matter in the 2026 municipal elections?
