Why not 2025? Elections Canada publishes those counts under non-commercial terms, and its open data stop at the 2021 election. Councils are elected on the first Sunday in November every four years, says the Act respecting elections and referendums in municipalities, so Disraeli votes next on 4 November 2029. Provincially the last general election was on 5 October 2026, for the National Assembly of Québec; federally, on 28 April 2025.

villededisraeli.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Council size. The council size includes the head of council; the population is the 2021 Census, the whole city’s for a neighbourhood.
- 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.
- Who holds each seat. MPs come from Wikidata’s records of the 45th Parliament, which can lag a resignation or a by-election by some days.
- Not on this page. How councillors voted once in office, and band councils, are beyond the open record.
- 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.
