Local government in Siksika 146, a reserve, is the First Nation’s band council, not on the open lists this page uses. The Legislative Assembly of Alberta’s riding map carries non-commercial terms, so Siksika 146 isn’t placed in a riding here. Across Alberta, 33 of the 37 MPs sit with the Conservative Party of Canada.

elections.ab.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
- Election results. Elections Canada redrew the ridings in 2023 and re-tallied the 2021 ballots onto the new map from polling divisions; that estimate, and the official 2019 and 2021 counts on the old map, are what you see.
- Not on this page. The open lists stop short of party labels, council budgets and band councils, so those are missing here.
