As a neighbourhood of London, Huron Heights shares the council elected in October 2022, with Josh Morgan 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. Federally, Huron Heights sits in London—Fanshawe, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP), held by Kurt Holman of the Conservative Party of Canada. Parts of Huron Heights vote in 2 different ridings for the Legislative Assembly of Ontario: London—Fanshawe and London North Centre. No open list we can reuse gives Huron Heights’ sitting MPP; the Legislative Assembly of Ontario keeps the list.

- Council money. The 2024 Financial Information Return, totals after adjustments by service, per resident with the return’s own population. A lower tier’s figures leave out its county’s or region’s spending, so lower tiers are compared only with lower tiers.
- Council size. For residents per seat, the head of council is counted as a seat, and the population is the 2021 Census figure.
- Which riding. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
- 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.
- Not on this page. Band councils, and which party runs the council: the open lists carry no party, and most councils have none.
- Who holds each seat. A member who resigned or switched parties last week may still show here: the names are Wikidata’s.
