Uplands is in Middlesex—London, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP), and the seat belongs to Lianne Rood of the Conservative Party of Canada. Provincially, Uplands votes in London North Centre; 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 Uplands; in October 2022, London chose Josh Morgan as mayor. Ontario held new municipal elections on 26 October 2026; until the province publishes them, the open record stops at the council elected in 2022.

When Uplands votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| London council | 26 October 2026 | 28 October 2030 |
| Legislative Assembly of Ontario | 27 February 2025 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
Parliament was last elected on 28 April 2025, and the Legislative Assembly of Ontario on 27 February 2025. Councils are elected on the fourth Monday in October every four years, says the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, so London votes next on 28 October 2030. There are no 2025 counts here: Elections Canada’s terms bar their commercial reuse, so 2021 is the latest open result.

elections.on.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which riding. A place belongs to the riding where most of its 2021 Census residents live, plus any other with 5% or more.
- Election results. Official counts for 2019 and 2021 are by the 2013 ridings; Elections Canada also re-counted the 2021 ballots onto the 2023 ridings by polling division, and that estimate is what “today’s boundaries” means here.
- 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. Wikidata, edited by volunteers, is the source for each MP, and it can trail a change of seat by a little.
- 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. Residents per seat divide the 2021 Census population by every council seat, the head of council’s included.
