Under the recommendations of a 2012 Electoral Boundaries and Representation Commission, the boundaries of district where adjusted and accepted by the Provincial Government. While the district lost polls from its western boundary, it gained area in the east with the addition of polls in St. John County. The commission did not recommend a name change, but the electoral boundaries commission changed its name from Charlotte-The Isles to Fundy-The Isles-Saint John West.[2]
Currently, Michael O'Neill is the Liberal President of the riding, Stephen Bradley is the Progressive Conservative President of the riding and Teresa "Terry" James is the riding President for New Brunswick NDP.
