Puvirnituq sends one MP to Ottawa from Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP): Mandy Gull-Masty (Liberal Party of Canada). Ungava is the riding Puvirnituq 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. 44 of the 78 MPs from Quebec belong to the Liberal Party of Canada. 6 councillors complete the northern village’s council.

nvpuvirnituq.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- Not on this page. Who controls the council by party (the open lists give none, and most Canadian councils sit without parties), budgets and band councils.
- Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
- Election results. Elections Canada redrew the ridings in 2023 and re-tallied the 2021 ballots onto the new map from polling divisions; that estimate, and the official 2019 and 2021 counts on the old map, are what you see.
- Council size. Seats count the head of council and the councillors, and residents are the 2021 Census count; a neighbourhood shows its city’s.
