City council runs Binbrook; in October 2022, Hamilton chose Andrea Horwath as mayor. The council shown is the one elected in 2022, since Ontario voted again on 26 October 2026 and no open file of the new councils exists yet. Provincially, Binbrook votes in Flamborough—Glanbrook; the open record doesn’t name its MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament, at Queen’s Park in Toronto) in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, so the legislature’s own list is linked below. For federal votes, Binbrook belongs to Flamborough—Glanbrook—Brant North, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP); Dan Muys (Conservative Party of Canada) holds it.

- Council size. Seats count the head of council and the councillors, and residents are the 2021 Census count; a neighbourhood shows its city’s.
- 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.
- 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.
- Which riding. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
- Not on this page. No council budgets, no band councils, and no party tally for the council, which the open lists don’t record.
