Meadowvale sends one MP to Ottawa from Mississauga—Streetsville, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP): Rechie Valdez (Liberal Party of Canada). Mississauga—Streetsville is the riding Meadowvale votes in for the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, and its MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament, at Queen’s Park in Toronto) isn’t named here because no open list records the members. Mississauga, which governs Meadowvale, elected Bonnie Crombie mayor in October 2022. These names are from the 2022–26 term: Ontario’s municipalities voted on 26 October 2026, but the province’s open list of the results isn’t out.

- 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.
