The Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island’s riding map is published without a licence, so this page doesn’t place Crossroads in a riding. Locally, Crossroads is run as a fire district. Mayors and councillors on Prince Edward Island aren’t on any open list, so Crossroads’ 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

electionspei.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which riding. A place belongs to the riding where most of its 2021 Census residents live, plus any other with 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. Council budgets, band councils, and which party runs the council: the open lists carry no party, and most councils have none.
- 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.
