Hampton Heights is in Hamilton Mountain, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP), and the seat belongs to Lisa Hepfner of the Liberal Party of Canada. Provincially, Hampton Heights votes in Hamilton Mountain; 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. City council runs Hampton Heights; in October 2022, Hamilton chose Andrea Horwath as mayor. 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.

elections.on.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- Not on this page. The open lists stop short of party labels, council budgets and band councils, so those are missing here.
- Who holds each seat. Wikidata, edited by volunteers, is the source for each MP, and it can trail a change of seat by a little.
- Election results. Two maps are in play: the 2013 ridings, on which 2019 and 2021 were counted, and the 2023 ridings, onto which Elections Canada transposed the 2021 vote poll by poll.
- Council size. For residents per seat, the head of council is counted as a seat, and the population is the 2021 Census figure.
