The 3 ridings of Abbotsford West, Abbotsford South and Abbotsford-Mission each take in part of Abbotsford for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia. No open list says who the MLA is today; the last open record is the 2024 count. Most of Abbotsford (53% of residents) is represented by Sukhman Gill, and much of the rest by Brad Vis. In the census’s list of municipalities, Abbotsford is a city. No open list of councils exists in British Columbia, so no mayor of Abbotsford is named here.

When Abbotsford votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Abbotsford council | 17 October 2026 | 19 October 2030 |
| Legislative Assembly of British Columbia | 19 October 2024 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
The last general elections came on 19 October 2024 for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia and on 28 April 2025 for Parliament. The council elected on 17 October 2026 serves until 19 October 2030, when Abbotsford council is chosen again. That date comes from the Local Government Act, which sets the third Saturday in October every four years. The 2025 results are left out because elections.ca’s terms forbid commercial reproduction; the open catalogue’s latest is 2021.

- Who holds each seat. A member who resigned or switched parties last week may still show here: the names are Wikidata’s.
- Which riding. A place belongs to the riding where most of its 2021 Census residents live, plus any other with 5% or more.
- Election results. Ridings changed in 2023: the 2019 and 2021 results are on the old map, and the 2021 vote on today’s map is Elections Canada’s own estimate from polling divisions.
- Not on this page. The open lists stop short of party labels, council budgets and band councils, so those are missing here.
