Most of Marpole (81% of residents) is represented by Chak Au, and much of the rest by Taleeb Noormohamed. For the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Marpole votes in Vancouver-Langara; open data doesn’t yet say who its MLA (Member of the Legislative Assembly, the provincial or territorial legislature) is. Marpole has no council of its own: it is a neighbourhood of Vancouver, run by the city council.
Three governments, and who does what
Marpole is governed by Vancouver, with British Columbia and Ottawa.
The city council decides local matters.
Regional parks, waste, rural areas’ services.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.

When Marpole votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Vancouver council | 17 October 2026 | 19 October 2030 |
| Legislative Assembly of British Columbia | 19 October 2024 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
Voters last chose Vancouver council on 17 October 2026 and will again on 19 October 2030. The Local Government Act fixes that date: the third Saturday in October every four years. Provincially the last general election was on 19 October 2024, for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia; federally, on 28 April 2025. 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.

Check or update the federal list.
elections.ca ↗Every MP lists an office.
ourcommons.ca ↗Ridings, registration and voting dates.
elections.bc.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which riding. The 2021 Census homes of a place’s residents fix its ridings, and one is shown once it holds 5% of them.
- Who holds each seat. A member who resigned or switched parties last week may still show here: the names are Wikidata’s.
- Not on this page. Council budgets, band councils, and which party runs the council: the open lists carry no party, and most councils have none.
- 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.
