When Rougemont votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Rougemont council | 2 November 2025 | 4 November 2029 |
| National Assembly of Québec | 5 October 2026 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
Provincially the last general election was on 5 October 2026, for the National Assembly of Québec; federally, on 28 April 2025. Councils are elected on the first Sunday in November every four years, says the Act respecting elections and referendums in municipalities, so Rougemont votes next on 4 November 2029. There are no 2025 counts here: Elections Canada’s terms bar their commercial reuse, so 2021 is the latest open result.

- Council size. Every seat counts, the head of council’s too, against the population of the 2021 Census.
- 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.
- 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. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
