Stéphane Boyer leads Laval as mayor, alongside 22 councillors. Parts of Laval vote in 6 different ridings for the National Assembly of Québec: Laval-des-Rapides, Chomedey, Fabre, Sainte-Rose, Vimont and Mille-Îles. Laval’s current MNA isn’t named here, because no open source records the National Assembly of Québec’s members. Angelo Iacono (Liberal Party of Canada) is the MP for Alfred-Pellan, the riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP) that takes in Laval.

laval.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. 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.
- Not on this page. The open files end at election night: no council votes since, and no band councils.
- 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.
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- Election results. Two maps are in play: the 2013 ridings, on which 2019 and 2021 were counted, and the 2023 ridings, onto which Elections Canada transposed the 2021 vote poll by poll.
