No provincial riding is named for Charlottetown, because the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island’s boundary file gives no terms of reuse. In the census’s list of municipalities, Charlottetown is a city. Mayors and councillors on Prince Edward Island aren’t on any open list, so Charlottetown’s council goes unnamed here. 4 of the 4 MPs from Prince Edward Island belong to the Liberal Party of Canada.
Three governments, and who does what
Charlottetown, a city in Prince Edward Island, shares the work with the province and Ottawa.
Local services, by-laws and property tax.

electionspei.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- 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. The open lists stop short of party labels, council budgets and band councils, so those are missing here.
- 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.
