Statistics Canada lists Elkford as a district municipality. Who leads Elkford’s council isn’t on an open record: there’s no open list of councils in British Columbia. Provincially, Elkford votes in Kootenay-Rockies; 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. The Liberal Party of Canada has 20 of the 43 MPs elected in British Columbia.

- Who holds each seat. Each MP’s name and party are Wikidata’s statements for the 45th Parliament, read in November 2026.
- 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. Official counts for 2019 and 2021 are by the 2013 ridings; Elections Canada also re-counted the 2021 ballots onto the 2023 ridings by polling division, and that estimate is what “today’s boundaries” means here.
- Not on this page. Party control (Canadian councils are mostly elected without parties, and the open lists record none), council budgets, and band councils.
