The Liberal Party of Canada has 44 of the 78 MPs elected in Quebec. Mille-Isles sends one MP to Ottawa from Les Pays-d'en-Haut, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP): Tim Watchorn (Liberal Party of Canada). Provincially, Mille-Isles votes in Argenteuil; the open record doesn’t name its MNA (Member of the National Assembly, Québec’s legislature) in the National Assembly of Québec, so the legislature’s own list is linked below. 6 councillors complete the municipality’s council.

When Mille-Isles votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |

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. The last general elections came on 5 October 2026 for the National Assembly of Québec and on 28 April 2025 for Parliament. Under the Act respecting elections and referendums in municipalities, Mille-Isles’s next municipal vote is on 4 November 2029, the first Sunday in November every four years.

mille-isles.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Council money. Per resident uses MAMH’s population; the 2024 financial report gives charges by service and the financial profile the revenue, debt and reserves.
- Council size. Seats count the head of council and the councillors, and residents are the 2021 Census count; a neighbourhood shows its city’s.
- 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. 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.
- Not on this page. Band councils, and what members did once elected: the open record stops at the vote.
- Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
