Provincially, Long Sault votes in Stormont—Dundas—South Glengarry; 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. The riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP) covering Long Sault is Stormont—Dundas—Glengarry, and Eric Duncan (Conservative Party of Canada) represents it in the House of Commons. For local government, Long Sault falls under South Stormont, a township. The October 2022 vote made Bryan McGillis mayor of South Stormont, heading 5 seats. Ontario held new municipal elections on 26 October 2026; until the province publishes them, the open record stops at the council elected in 2022.
