22council seats
Town hall & politics · Quebec

Each seat on Québec’s council stands for 26,940 residents, more than in 99% of Quebec municipalities

Québec is split between 9 ridings of the National Assembly of Québec, Jean-Talon, Louis-Hébert, La Peltrie, Vanier-Les Rivières, Taschereau, Jean-Lesage, Montmorency, Charlesbourg and Chauveau. Québec’s current MNA isn’t named here, because no open source records the National Assembly of Québec’s members. Pierre Paul-Hus (Conservative Party of Canada) is the MP for Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, the riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP) that takes in Québec. Québec’s council has 21 councillors and is led by Bruno Marchand, the mayor.

Elections Canada’s open records end with the 2021 election; its 2025 results are under terms that rule out commercial use. 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. The last general elections came on 5 October 2026 for the National Assembly of Québec and on 28 April 2025 for Parliament.

How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

  • Who holds each seat. Each MP’s name and party are Wikidata’s statements for the 45th Parliament, read in November 2026.
  • Not on this page. How councillors voted once in office, and band councils, are beyond the open record.
  • 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.
  • Which riding. A place belongs to the riding where most of its 2021 Census residents live, plus any other with 5% or more.
  • Council size. The 2021 Census population is shared over all council seats, including the head of council’s, for this ratio.
  • 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.
