The October 2022 vote made Francois Landry mayor of North Stormont, heading 5 seats. 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. North Stormont is in Stormont—Dundas—Glengarry, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP), and the seat belongs to Eric Duncan of the Conservative Party of Canada. North Stormont sends one MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament, at Queen’s Park in Toronto) to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from Stormont—Dundas—South Glengarry, though no open record we can reuse gives the name.

- Council money. Figures are the 2024 Financial Information Return’s totals after adjustments, per resident on the return’s population. Lower tiers stand beside lower tiers only: their county or region spends on top.
- Council size. The 2021 Census population is shared over all council seats, including the head of council’s, for this ratio.
- Which riding. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
- Election results. The 2019 and 2021 figures are Elections Canada’s official counts on the ridings drawn in 2013; the “today’s boundaries” figures are its transposition of the 2021 vote onto the 2023 ridings, an estimate built from polling divisions.
