Surrey’s council runs Crescent Heights, one of the city’s neighbourhoods. Parts of Crescent Heights vote in 2 different ridings for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia: Surrey-White Rock and Surrey South. 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. Across British Columbia, 20 of the 43 MPs sit with the Liberal Party of Canada.

When Crescent Heights votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Surrey council | 17 October 2026 | 19 October 2030 |
| Legislative Assembly of British Columbia | 19 October 2024 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
Parliament was last elected on 28 April 2025, and the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia on 19 October 2024. Voters last chose Surrey council on 17 October 2026 and will again on 19 October 2030. 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.

- 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. A place belongs to the riding where most of its 2021 Census residents live, plus any other with 5% or more.
- Election results. Two maps are in play: the 2013 ridings, on which 2019 and 2021 were counted, and the 2023 ridings, onto which Elections Canada transposed the 2021 vote poll by poll.
