boucherville.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Council money. Per resident uses MAMH’s population; the 2024 financial report gives charges by service and the financial profile the revenue, debt and reserves.
- Council size. The council size includes the head of council; the population is the 2021 Census, the whole city’s for a neighbourhood.
- Which riding. The 2021 Census homes of a place’s residents fix its ridings, and one is shown once it holds 5% of them.
- 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.
- Not on this page. How councillors voted once in office, and band councils, are beyond the open record.
- Who holds each seat. Wikidata, edited by volunteers, is the source for each MP, and it can trail a change of seat by a little.
