Montcalm sends one MP to Ottawa from Québec Centre, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP): Jean-Yves Duclos (Liberal Party of Canada). No riding is named for Montcalm: its city spreads over several, and the National Assembly of Québec’s boundary file carries non-commercial terms. Local government for Montcalm is Québec’s, with Bruno Marchand as mayor.

When Montcalm votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Québec council | 2 November 2025 | 4 November 2029 |
| National Assembly of Québec | 5 October 2026 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
The last general elections came on 5 October 2026 for the National Assembly of Québec and on 28 April 2025 for Parliament. Councils are elected on the first Sunday in November every four years, says the Act respecting elections and referendums in municipalities, so Québec 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.

- 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. 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.

- Who holds each seat. Each MP’s name and party are Wikidata’s statements for the 45th Parliament, read in November 2026.
- 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.
- Council size. Every seat counts, the head of council’s too, against the population of the 2021 Census.
