Duggan sends Heather McPherson (New Democratic Party) to the Commons from Edmonton Strathcona
The Conservative Party of Canada has 33 of the 37 MPs elected in Alberta. Andrew Knack, the mayor, heads the council of Edmonton, which governs Duggan as one of its neighbourhoods. The Legislative Assembly of Alberta’s riding map carries non-commercial terms, so Duggan isn’t placed in a riding here.
Three governments, and who does what
Duggan is governed by Edmonton, with Alberta and Ottawa.
The city council decides local matters.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.

The census places Edmonton in Division No. 11, a division that governs nothing; no county council sits above the town’s.

When Duggan votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Edmonton council | 20 October 2025 | 15 October 2029 |
| Legislative Assembly of Alberta | 29 May 2023 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
Provincially the last general election was on 29 May 2023, for the Legislative Assembly of Alberta; federally, on 28 April 2025. After the 20 October 2025 election, Edmonton council next goes to the polls on 15 October 2029. Councils are elected on the third Monday in October every four years, says the Local Authorities Election Act, so Edmonton votes next on 15 October 2029. Counts from April 2025 can’t appear here, since Elections Canada allows only non-commercial reuse of them.

- Council money. Alberta’s 2024 municipal financial returns, per resident with Statistics Canada’s 2025 population estimate.
- 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.
- Who holds each seat. MPs come from Wikidata’s records of the 45th Parliament, which can lag a resignation or a by-election by some days.
- Which riding. A riding is listed when 5% or more of the place’s 2021 Census residents live in it; the largest share comes first.
- Not on this page. Party control (most Canadian councils sit without parties, and the open lists record none) and band councils.
