For local government, Teulon is a town. No open list of councils exists in Manitoba, so no mayor of Teulon is named here. James Bezan (Conservative Party of Canada) is the MP for Selkirk—Interlake—Eastman, the riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP) that takes in Teulon. Teulon’s riding for the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba isn’t named: the licence for the province’s boundary file couldn’t be read, so it isn’t used.

When Teulon votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Teulon council | 28 October 2026 | 23 October 2030 |
| Legislative Assembly of Manitoba | 3 October 2023 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
The last general elections came on 3 October 2023 for the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba and on 28 April 2025 for Parliament. The council elected on 28 October 2026 serves until 23 October 2030, when Teulon council is chosen again. That date comes from the The Municipal Councils and School Boards Elections Act, which sets the fourth Wednesday 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.

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