Federally, Vegreville sits in Lakeland, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP), held by Shannon Stubbs of the Conservative Party of Canada. The Legislative Assembly of Alberta’s riding map carries non-commercial terms, so Vegreville isn’t placed in a riding here. Statistics Canada lists Vegreville as a town. Mayors and councillors in Alberta aren’t on any open list, so Vegreville’s council goes unnamed here.
