From Quebec come 78 MPs, 44 of them with the Liberal Party of Canada. The riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP) covering Bedford is Brome—Missisquoi, and Louis Villeneuve (Liberal Party of Canada) represents it in the House of Commons. Brome-Missisquoi is the riding Bedford votes in for the National Assembly of Québec, and its MNA (Member of the National Assembly, Québec’s legislature) isn’t named here because no open list records the members. The council of the city also counts 6 councillors.

- Council money. Spending by service comes from MAMH’s consolidated 2024 financial report, revenue, debt and reserves from its financial profile, all per resident on MAMH’s population.
- Council size. Seats count the head of council and the councillors, and residents are the 2021 Census count; a neighbourhood shows its city’s.
- Election results. Ridings changed in 2023: the 2019 and 2021 results are on the old map, and the 2021 vote on today’s map is Elections Canada’s own estimate from polling divisions.
- Which riding. A riding is listed when 5% or more of the place’s 2021 Census residents live in it; the largest share comes first.
- 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 files end at election night: no council votes since, and no band councils.
