For federal votes, Glencoe belongs to Middlesex—London, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP); Lianne Rood (Conservative Party of Canada) holds it. For the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, Glencoe votes in Lambton—Kent—Middlesex; open data doesn’t yet say who its MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament, at Queen’s Park in Toronto) is. Glencoe is part of Southwest Middlesex, a municipality by Statistics Canada’s count. Voters in Southwest Middlesex chose Allan Mayhew as mayor in October 2022, for a 8-seat council. Ontario voted again on 26 October 2026, and the province hasn’t published that election’s open file yet, so these are the 2022–26 council’s names.

- Which riding. A riding is listed when 5% or more of the place’s 2021 Census residents live in it; the largest share comes first.
- Election results. Ridings changed in 2023: the 2019 and 2021 results are on the old map, and the 2021 vote on today’s map is Elections Canada’s own estimate from polling divisions.
- Not on this page. No party tally for the council, which the open lists don’t record, and no band councils.
- Who holds each seat. MPs come from Wikidata’s records of the 45th Parliament, which can lag a resignation or a by-election by some days.
- Council money. Figures are the 2024 Financial Information Return’s totals after adjustments, per resident on the return’s population. Lower tiers stand beside lower tiers only: their county or region spends on top.
- Council size. For residents per seat, the head of council is counted as a seat, and the population is the 2021 Census figure.
