Elections Canada’s open records end with the 2021 election; its 2025 results are under terms that rule out commercial use. The Legislative Assembly of Manitoba was last elected on 3 October 2023, and the House of Commons on 28 April 2025. Elected on 28 October 2026, Kelsey council is up again on 23 October 2030. The The Municipal Councils and School Boards Elections Act fixes that date: the fourth Wednesday in October every four years.

ourcommons.ca ↗Ridings, registration and voting dates.
electionsmanitoba.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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. Each place is put in its ridings by where its 2021 Census residents live; a riding holding 5% or more of them is listed.
- Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
