Côte-Saint-Luc’s council has 8 councillors and is led by David Tordjman, the mayor.

Provincially, Côte-Saint-Luc votes in D'Arcy-McGee; the open record doesn’t name its MNA (Member of the National Assembly, Québec’s legislature) in the National Assembly of Québec, so the legislature’s own list is linked below.

- 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. Every seat counts, the head of council’s too, against the population of the 2021 Census.
- 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. Where the page says “today’s boundaries”, it means Elections Canada’s estimate of the 2021 vote on the 2023 ridings; every other count is official and on the 2013 map.
- Not on this page. How councillors voted once in office, and band councils, are beyond the open record.
- 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.
