Restigouche (provincial electoral district)

Restigouche was a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada. It used a bloc voting system to elect candidates, and was created from Gloucester in 1838. It was abolished with the 1973 electoral redistribution, when the province moved to single-member ridings.
