Statistics Canada lists Crossfield as a town. Who leads Crossfield’s council isn’t on an open record: there’s no open list of councils in Alberta. The Legislative Assembly of Alberta’s riding map carries non-commercial terms, so Crossfield isn’t placed in a riding here. Of the 37 Commons seats from Alberta, the Conservative Party of Canada holds 33.

When Crossfield votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Crossfield council | 20 October 2025 | 15 October 2029 |
| Legislative Assembly of Alberta | 29 May 2023 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
The last general elections came on 29 May 2023 for the Legislative Assembly of Alberta and on 28 April 2025 for Parliament. After the 20 October 2025 election, Crossfield council next goes to the polls on 15 October 2029. It is the third Monday in October every four years, as the Local Authorities Election Act provides. No open copy of the 2025 counts exists, and Elections Canada’s own terms rule out commercial reuse, so 2021 is the last vote shown.
