Richmond is the riding Danville 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. Federally, Danville sits in Richmond—Arthabaska, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP), held by Eric Lefebvre of the Conservative Party of Canada. From Quebec come 78 MPs, 44 of them with the Liberal Party of Canada. The city also elects 6 councillors to sit at the council table.

danville.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Not on this page. Band councils, and what members did once elected: the open record stops at the vote.
- 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.
- 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. Official counts for 2019 and 2021 are by the 2013 ridings; Elections Canada also re-counted the 2021 ballots onto the 2023 ridings by polling division, and that estimate is what “today’s boundaries” means here.
- Council size. For residents per seat, the head of council is counted as a seat, and the population is the 2021 Census figure.
- 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.
