Victoria’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. Locally, Victoria is run as a rural municipality. In Manitoba, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Victoria’s mayor isn’t named. Across Manitoba, 7 of the 14 MPs sit with the Conservative Party of Canada.
Three governments, and who does what
Victoria, a rural municipality in Manitoba, shares the work with the province and Ottawa.
Local services, by-laws and property tax.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.
gov.mb.ca ↗Passports, pensions, EI, defence, immigration.
ourcommons.ca ↗Who to ask
Green: municipal. Gold: provincial. Grey: federal.
The census places Victoria in Division No. 8, a division that governs nothing; no county council sits above the town’s.

When Victoria votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Victoria council | 28 October 2026 | 23 October 2030 |
| Legislative Assembly of Manitoba | 3 October 2023 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
Voters last chose the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba on 3 October 2023 and the House of Commons on 28 April 2025. The council elected on 28 October 2026 serves until 23 October 2030, when Victoria council is chosen again. The The Municipal Councils and School Boards Elections Act fixes that date: 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
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- Who holds each seat. The members named here are Wikidata’s, kept up by volunteers; a by-election or a floor crossing may take a few days to show.
- Not on this page. Band councils, municipal budgets and party control are left out; most councils sit without parties anyway.
- Election results. Elections Canada redrew the ridings in 2023 and re-tallied the 2021 ballots onto the new map from polling divisions; that estimate, and the official 2019 and 2021 counts on the old map, are what you see.
