From Alberta come 37 MPs, 33 of them with the Conservative Party of Canada. Because the Legislative Assembly of Alberta’s boundaries come with non-commercial terms, this page doesn’t say which riding Allard is in. As a neighbourhood of Edmonton, Allard answers to the city council and its mayor, Andrew Knack.
Three governments, and who does what
Allard is governed by Edmonton, with Alberta and Ottawa.
The city council decides local matters.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.

Green: municipal. Gold: provincial. Grey: federal.
The census places Edmonton in Division No. 11, a division that governs nothing; no county council sits above the town’s.

- Election results. Two maps are in play: the 2013 ridings, on which 2019 and 2021 were counted, and the 2023 ridings, onto which Elections Canada transposed the 2021 vote poll by poll.
- Council money. Alberta’s 2024 municipal financial returns, per resident with Statistics Canada’s 2025 population estimate.
- Not on this page. No party tally for the council, which the open lists don’t record, and no band councils.
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
