When Whitehead votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.

| Whitehead 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. After the 28 October 2026 election, Whitehead council next goes to the polls on 23 October 2030. The The Municipal Councils and School Boards Elections Act fixes that date: the fourth Wednesday in October every four years. Why not 2025? Elections Canada publishes those counts under non-commercial terms, and its open data stop at the 2021 election.
