- 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.
- Which riding. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
- Who holds each seat. The members named here are Wikidata’s, kept up by volunteers; a by-election or a floor crossing may take a few days to show.
- Not on this page. The open files end at election night: no council votes since, and no band councils.
- Council money. MAMH’s 2024 financial report, consolidated: charges by service, with revenue, debt and reserves from the financial profile, per resident with MAMH’s own population.
- Council size. For residents per seat, the head of council is counted as a seat, and the population is the 2021 Census figure.
