Across Quebec, 44 of the 78 MPs sit with the Liberal Party of Canada. Federally, Clermont sits in Montmorency—Charlevoix, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP), held by Gabriel Hardy of the Conservative Party of Canada. Charlevoix--Côte-de-Beaupré is the riding Clermont 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 city also elects 6 councillors to sit at the council table.

- Council money. MAMH’s 2024 financial report, consolidated: charges by service, with revenue, debt and reserves from the financial profile, per resident with MAMH’s own population.
- Council size. Residents per seat divide the 2021 Census population by every council seat, the head of council’s included.
- 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.
- 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. A member who resigned or switched parties last week may still show here: the names are Wikidata’s.
