33 of the 37 MPs from Alberta belong to the Conservative Party of Canada. Statistics Canada lists Irricana as a town. No open list of councils exists in Alberta, so no mayor of Irricana is named here.

elections.ab.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Election results. Official counts for 2019 and 2021 are by the 2013 ridings; Elections Canada also re-counted the 2021 ballots onto the 2023 ridings by polling division, and that estimate is what “today’s boundaries” means here.
- Not on this page. Council budgets, band councils, and which party runs the council: the open lists carry no party, and most councils have none.
- Who holds each seat. The members named here are Wikidata’s, kept up by volunteers; a by-election or a floor crossing may take a few days to show.
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
