Carleton (New Brunswick provincial electoral district)

Carleton (New Brunswick provincial electoral district)

Carleton is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada.

This district contains most of northern portions of Carleton. It was created in the 1994 electoral redistribution out of Carleton North and most of Carleton Centre. It is considered one of the safest seats in the province for the Progressive Conservatives, having elected a representative of that party since its creation, including in the 1995 election when the PCs won only 6 of 55 seats.

The district was slightly altered in the 2006 redistribution when it lost small amounts of territory to the Victoria-Tobique district.

It has been held by Dale Graham of the New Brunswick Progressive Conservative Party since its creation.
