Surrey Centre is a Surrey neighbourhood, so city council decides its local matters. Surrey-Serpentine River is the riding Surrey Centre 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. 20 of the 43 MPs from British Columbia belong to the Liberal Party of Canada.
Three governments, and who does what
Surrey Centre 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.
Greater Vancouver Regional District counts Surrey among its member municipalities; its board provides regional services and the rural areas’ local government.

When Surrey Centre votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.

The 2025 results are left out because elections.ca’s terms forbid commercial reproduction; the open catalogue’s latest is 2021. Voters last chose the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia on 19 October 2024 and the House of Commons on 28 April 2025. After the 17 October 2026 election, Surrey council next goes to the polls on 19 October 2030. That date comes from the Local Government Act, which sets the third Saturday in October every four years.

elections.bc.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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.
- 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.
- Not on this page. No council budgets, no band councils, and no party tally for the council, which the open lists don’t record.
