Cowichan Bay is part of Cowichan Valley D, a regional district electoral area by Statistics Canada’s count. In British Columbia, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Cowichan Bay’s mayor isn’t named. Cowichan Valley is the riding Cowichan Bay votes in for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, and its MLA (Member of the Legislative Assembly, the provincial or territorial legislature) isn’t named here because no open list records the members. The Liberal Party of Canada has 20 of the 43 MPs elected in British Columbia.

Cowichan Bay is a regional district electoral area: a regional district or the province runs its local services.

- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- Election results. Where the page says “today’s boundaries”, it means Elections Canada’s estimate of the 2021 vote on the 2023 ridings; every other count is official and on the 2013 map.
