In the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Oakridge is shared by 2 ridings (Vancouver-Langara and Vancouver-Little Mountain). Open data stops at the October 2024 count, so the current MLA isn’t confirmed here. For federal votes, Oakridge belongs to Vancouver Granville, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP); Taleeb Noormohamed (Liberal Party of Canada) holds it. Local decisions for Oakridge are made by Vancouver’s council; neighbourhoods don’t have their own.

When Oakridge 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 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, Vancouver council next goes to the polls on 19 October 2030. The Local Government Act fixes that date: 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.

elections.bc.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Who holds each seat. MPs come from Wikidata’s records of the 45th Parliament, which can lag a resignation or a by-election by some days.
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- Election results. Official counts for 2019 and 2021 are by the 2013 ridings; Elections Canada also re-counted the 2021 ballots onto the 2023 ridings by polling division, and that estimate is what “today’s boundaries” means here.
- Not on this page. No council budgets, no band councils, and no party tally for the council, which the open lists don’t record.
