History
2014
This completely new riding was formed during the 2013 redistricting.
The newly-created Victoria-La Vallée incorporated portions of the former Victoria-Tobique, Grand Falls-Drummond-Saint-André and Restigouche-la-Vallée.
All three former ridings voted PC in 2010, but shifted Liberal when Chuck Chiasson won the seat, taking it from the then-incumbent Tory MLA Danny Soucy.
