Across Quebec, 44 of the 78 MPs sit with the Liberal Party of Canada. Laurier-Station is in Mégantic—L’Érable—Lotbinière, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP), and the seat belongs to Luc Berthold of the Conservative Party of Canada. Lotbinière-Frontenac is the riding Laurier-Station 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. The village also elects 6 councillors to sit at the council table.

When Laurier-Station votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Laurier-Station council | 2 November 2025 | 4 November 2029 |
| National Assembly of Québec | 5 October 2026 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
The National Assembly of Québec was last elected on 5 October 2026, and the House of Commons on 28 April 2025. Councils are elected on the first Sunday in November every four years, says the Act respecting elections and referendums in municipalities, so Laurier-Station votes next on 4 November 2029. No open copy of the 2025 counts exists, and Elections Canada’s own terms rule out commercial reuse, so 2021 is the last vote shown.

- Council size. The 2021 Census population is shared over all council seats, including the head of council’s, for this ratio.
- Which riding. A riding is listed when 5% or more of the place’s 2021 Census residents live in it; the largest share comes first.
- 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. The open files end at election night: no council votes since, and no band councils.
