Across Quebec, 44 of the 78 MPs sit with the Liberal Party of Canada. In the National Assembly of Québec, Lacolle belongs to Huntingdon; who holds it as MNA (Member of the National Assembly, Québec’s legislature) isn’t on an open record, so no one is named. The riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP) covering Lacolle is Saint-Jean, and Christine Normandin (Bloc Québécois) represents it in the House of Commons. The municipality also elects 6 councillors to sit at the council table.

lacolle.com ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Council size. Seats count the head of council and the councillors, and residents are the 2021 Census count; a neighbourhood shows its city’s.
- Council money. Spending by service comes from MAMH’s consolidated 2024 financial report, revenue, debt and reserves from its financial profile, all per resident on MAMH’s population.
- 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.
- Not on this page. The open files end at election night: no council votes since, and no band councils.
- 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.
- Which riding. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
