Guildford has no council of its own: it is a neighbourhood of Surrey, run by the city council. 94% of Guildford residents have Gurbux Saini as their MP; most of the rest have Randeep Sarai. Guildford sends one MLA (Member of the Legislative Assembly, the provincial or territorial legislature) to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia from Surrey-Guildford, though no open record we can reuse gives the name.
Three governments, and who does what
Guildford is governed by Surrey, with British Columbia and Ottawa.
The city council decides local matters.
Regional parks, waste, rural areas’ services.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.
leg.bc.ca ↗Passports, pensions, EI, defence, immigration.
ourcommons.ca ↗Who to ask
Green: municipal. Gold: provincial. Grey: federal.
Beyond its own council, Surrey has a seat on the board of Greater Vancouver Regional District.

When Guildford 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 | – |
There are no 2025 counts here: Elections Canada’s terms bar their commercial reuse, so 2021 is the latest open result. Parliament was last elected on 28 April 2025, and the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia on 19 October 2024. The council elected on 17 October 2026 serves until 19 October 2030, when Surrey council is chosen again. The Local Government Act fixes that date: the third Saturday in October every four years.
