Kootenay Central is the riding Kaslo 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. For local government, Kaslo is a village. Who leads Kaslo’s council isn’t on an open record: there’s no open list of councils in British Columbia. From British Columbia come 43 MPs, 20 of them with the Liberal Party of Canada.
Three governments, and who does what
Kaslo, a village in British Columbia, shares the work with the province and Ottawa.
Local services, by-laws and property tax.
Regional parks, waste, rural areas’ services.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.

ourcommons.ca ↗Who to ask
Green: municipal. Gold: provincial. Grey: federal.
Regional services come through Central Kootenay Regional District, whose board takes directors from Kaslo’s council.

When Kaslo votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Kaslo council | 17 October 2026 | 19 October 2030 |
| Legislative Assembly of British Columbia | 19 October 2024 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
Kaslo council was elected on 17 October 2026, and the next vote is on 19 October 2030. The Local Government Act fixes that date: the third Saturday in October every four years. Voters last chose the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia on 19 October 2024 and the House of Commons on 28 April 2025. There are no 2025 counts here: Elections Canada’s terms bar their commercial reuse, so 2021 is the latest open result.

elections.ca ↗Every MP lists an office.
ourcommons.ca ↗Ridings, registration and voting dates.
elections.bc.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
- Not on this page. Party control (Canadian councils are mostly elected without parties, and the open lists record none), council budgets, and band councils.
- Election results. Elections Canada redrew the ridings in 2023 and re-tallied the 2021 ballots onto the new map from polling divisions; that estimate, and the official 2019 and 2021 counts on the old map, are what you see.
