When Dakota Crossing votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Winnipeg council | 28 October 2026 | 23 October 2030 |
| Legislative Assembly of Manitoba | 3 October 2023 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
Winnipeg 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. Provincially the last general election was on 3 October 2023, for the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba; federally, on 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.
