Locally, East St. Paul is run as a rural municipality. Mayors and councillors in Manitoba aren’t on any open list, so East St. Paul’s council goes unnamed here. The Legislative Assembly of Manitoba’s boundary file has no licence page we could read, so this page doesn’t place East St. Paul in a riding. East St. Paul is in Kildonan—St. Paul, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP), and the seat belongs to Raquel Dancho of the Conservative Party of Canada.
