For local government, Stony Mountain falls under Rockwood, a rural municipality. In Manitoba, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Stony Mountain’s mayor isn’t named.

When Stony Mountain votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |

| Legislative Assembly of Manitoba | 3 October 2023 | – |
| House of Commons | 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. Parliament was last elected on 28 April 2025, and the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba on 3 October 2023. Rockwood council was elected on 28 October 2026, and the next vote is on 23 October 2030. The The Municipal Councils and School Boards Elections Act fixes that date: the fourth Wednesday in October every four years.

- Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
