Residents of Langley divide between Tako van Popta (74%) and Sukhman Gill in the Commons. Parts of Langley vote in 3 different ridings for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia: Langley-Walnut Grove, Langley-Abbotsford and Langley-Willowbrook. Who sits for it as MLA now isn’t on an open record: the 2024 count is the latest open file, and a by-election or a change of party wouldn’t show here. Locally, Langley is run as a district municipality. In British Columbia, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Langley’s mayor isn’t named.

elections.bc.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- 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. 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.
