Carlisle is in Flamborough—Glanbrook for the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, whose current MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament, at Queen’s Park in Toronto) no open source we can use records yet. Carlisle is part of Hamilton, which elected Andrea Horwath as mayor in October 2022. 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. Across Ontario, 71 of the 122 MPs sit with the Liberal Party of Canada.
Three governments, and who does what
Carlisle is governed by Hamilton, with Ontario and Ottawa.
The city council decides local matters.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.

elections.on.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Not on this page. Band councils, municipal budgets and party control are left out; most councils sit without parties anyway.
- Which riding. A place belongs to the riding where most of its 2021 Census residents live, plus any other with 5% or more.
- Who holds each seat. A member who resigned or switched parties last week may still show here: the names are Wikidata’s.
- Election results. Elections Canada redrew the ridings in 2023 and re-tallied the 2021 ballots onto the new map from polling divisions; that estimate, and the official 2019 and 2021 counts on the old map, are what you see.
- Council size. The 2021 Census population is shared over all council seats, including the head of council’s, for this ratio.
