Across Prince Edward Island, 4 of the 4 MPs sit with the Liberal Party of Canada. No provincial riding is named for Summerside, because the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island’s boundary file gives no terms of reuse. For local government, Summerside is a city. On Prince Edward Island, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Summerside’s mayor isn’t named.
Three governments, and who does what
Summerside, a city in Prince Edward Island, shares the work with the province and Ottawa.

- 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. 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.
- 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.
