Provincially, Cultus Lake votes in Chilliwack-Cultus Lake; the open record doesn’t name its MLA (Member of the Legislative Assembly, the provincial or territorial legislature) in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, so the legislature’s own list is linked below. Locally, Cultus Lake is governed as part of Fraser Valley H, a regional district electoral area. No open list of councils exists in British Columbia, so no mayor of Cultus Lake is named here. The Liberal Party of Canada has 20 of the 43 MPs elected in British Columbia.

- Which riding. The 2021 Census homes of a place’s residents fix its ridings, and one is shown once it holds 5% of them.
- Who holds each seat. Each MP’s name and party are Wikidata’s statements for the 45th Parliament, read in November 2026.
- Not on this page. Who controls the council by party (the open lists give none, and most Canadian councils sit without parties), budgets and band councils.
- 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.
