Moncton (provincial electoral district)

Moncton was a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada. It was created from Westmorland in 1912, and used a bloc voting system to elect candidates. It was abolished with the 1973 electoral redistribution, when the province moved to single-member ridings.
