13 members and how they were elected

Drummondville council sits without party lines: none of its members ran for a team. Each electoral district elects one councillor; the mayor is chosen by all of Drummondville.

Counts from April 2025 can’t appear here, since Elections Canada allows only non-commercial reuse of them. Councils are elected on the first Sunday in November every four years, says the Act respecting elections and referendums in municipalities, so Drummondville votes next on 4 November 2029. Parliament was last elected on 28 April 2025, and the National Assembly of Québec on 5 October 2026.

The Répertoire gives the ridings but not how many residents each holds, so no shares are shown. Every one of them sends a separate MNA to the National Assembly of Québec, and each covers part of Drummondville.
