Of the 43 Commons seats from British Columbia, the Liberal Party of Canada holds 20. Whistler sends one MLA (Member of the Legislative Assembly, the provincial or territorial legislature) to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia from West Vancouver-Sea to Sky, though no open record we can reuse gives the name. Locally, Whistler is run as a district municipality. In British Columbia, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Whistler’s mayor isn’t named.
Three governments, and who does what
Whistler, a district municipality in British Columbia, shares the work with the province and Ottawa.

When Whistler votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Whistler 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. Elected on 17 October 2026, Whistler council is up again 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.

- Not on this page. No council budgets, no band councils, and no party tally for the council, which the open lists don’t record.
- 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.
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- Who holds each seat. Each MP’s name and party are Wikidata’s statements for the 45th Parliament, read in November 2026.
