The Liberal Party of Canada has 20 of the 43 MPs elected in British Columbia. For local government, Lantzville is a district municipality. Mayors and councillors in British Columbia aren’t on any open list, so Lantzville’s council goes unnamed here. Lantzville sends one MLA (Member of the Legislative Assembly, the provincial or territorial legislature) to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia from Nanaimo-Lantzville, though no open record we can reuse gives the name.

When Lantzville votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Lantzville council | 17 October 2026 | 19 October 2030 |
| Legislative Assembly of British Columbia | 19 October 2024 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia was last elected on 19 October 2024, and the House of Commons on 28 April 2025. The council elected on 17 October 2026 serves until 19 October 2030, when Lantzville council is chosen again. That date comes from the Local Government Act, which sets the third Saturday in October every four years. No open copy of the 2025 counts exists, and Elections Canada’s own terms rule out commercial reuse, so 2021 is the last vote shown.

- Not on this page. No council budgets, no band councils, and no party tally for the council, which the open lists don’t record.
- Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
- Which riding. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
