As a neighbourhood of Vaughan, Maple shares the council elected in October 2022, with Steven Del Duca 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. For the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, Maple votes in King—Vaughan; open data doesn’t yet say who its MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament, at Queen’s Park in Toronto) is. Federally, Maple sits in King—Vaughan, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP), held by Anna Roberts of the Conservative Party of Canada.

- Council size. The 2021 Census population is shared over all council seats, including the head of council’s, for this ratio.
- 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.
- Who holds each seat. The members named here are Wikidata’s, kept up by volunteers; a by-election or a floor crossing may take a few days to show.
- Not on this page. Party control (most Canadian councils sit without parties, and the open lists record none) and band councils.
- 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.
- Which riding. A place belongs to the riding where most of its 2021 Census residents live, plus any other with 5% or more.
