The 2025 results are left out because elections.ca’s terms forbid commercial reproduction; the open catalogue’s latest is 2021. After the 28 October 2026 election, Winnipeg council next goes to the polls on 23 October 2030. That date comes from the The Municipal Councils and School Boards Elections Act, which sets the fourth Wednesday in October every four years. Parliament was last elected on 28 April 2025, and the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba on 3 October 2023.

- Which riding. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
