Most of Oakbank (47% of residents) is represented by Raquel Dancho, and much of the rest by Ted Falk. No provincial riding is named for Oakbank, since the terms of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba’s boundary file couldn’t be checked. For local government, Oakbank falls under Springfield, a rural municipality. This page names no head of council for Oakbank, as no open list of councils exists in Manitoba.

When Oakbank votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Springfield council | 28 October 2026 | 23 October 2030 |
| Legislative Assembly of Manitoba | 3 October 2023 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
Elected on 28 October 2026, Springfield council is up again on 23 October 2030. It is the fourth Wednesday in October every four years, as the The Municipal Councils and School Boards Elections Act provides. Provincially the last general election was on 3 October 2023, for the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba; federally, on 28 April 2025. 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.

- Which riding. A place belongs to the riding where most of its 2021 Census residents live, plus any other with 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.
- 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. Two maps are in play: the 2013 ridings, on which 2019 and 2021 were counted, and the 2023 ridings, onto which Elections Canada transposed the 2021 vote poll by poll.
