Similkameen—South Okanagan—West Kootenay, which takes in Warfield, is held by Helena Konanz (Conservative Party of Canada)
Across British Columbia, 20 of the 43 MPs sit with the Liberal Party of Canada. Kootenay-Monashee is the riding Warfield 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. For local government, Warfield is a village. No open list of councils exists in British Columbia, so no mayor of Warfield is named here.

- Not on this page. Who controls the council by party (the open lists give none, and most Canadian councils sit without parties), budgets and band councils.
- 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.
- Which riding. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
- Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
