King Edward’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. For federal votes, King Edward belongs to Winnipeg Centre, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP); Leah Gazan (New Democratic Party) holds it. King Edward is a Winnipeg neighbourhood, so city council decides its local matters.

electionsmanitoba.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- Election results. The 2019 and 2021 figures are Elections Canada’s official counts on the ridings drawn in 2013; the “today’s boundaries” figures are its transposition of the 2021 vote onto the 2023 ridings, an estimate built from polling divisions.
- 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.
