Winnipeg South Centre, which takes in Riverview, is held by Ben Carr (Liberal Party of Canada)
7 of the 14 MPs from Manitoba belong to the Conservative Party of Canada. Riverview has no council of its own: it is a neighbourhood of Winnipeg, run by the city council. No provincial riding is named for Riverview, since the terms of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba’s boundary file couldn’t be checked.
Three governments, and who does what
Riverview is governed by Winnipeg, with Manitoba and Ottawa.
The city council decides local matters.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.

Green: municipal. Gold: provincial. Grey: federal.
Winnipeg has no upper-tier council: Division No. 11, its census division, exists for statistics only.

When Riverview 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 | – |
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, Winnipeg 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. 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.

- Not on this page. No council budgets, no band councils, and no party tally for the council, which the open lists don’t record.
- Who holds each seat. Each MP’s name and party are Wikidata’s statements for the 45th Parliament, read in November 2026.
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
