The Liberal Party of Canada has 44 of the 78 MPs elected in Quebec. The riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP) covering Saint-Chrysostome is Châteauguay—Les Jardins-de-Napierville, and Nathalie Provost (Liberal Party of Canada) represents it in the House of Commons. Huntingdon is the riding Saint-Chrysostome 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.

When Saint-Chrysostome votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Saint-Chrysostome council | 2 November 2025 | 4 November 2029 |
| National Assembly of Québec | 5 October 2026 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
Voters last chose the National Assembly of Québec on 5 October 2026 and the House of Commons 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 Saint-Chrysostome votes next on 4 November 2029. Why not 2025? Elections Canada publishes those counts under non-commercial terms, and its open data stop at the 2021 election.

- 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. The council size includes the head of council; the population is the 2021 Census, the whole city’s for a neighbourhood.
- 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. The 2021 Census homes of a place’s residents fix its ridings, and one is shown once it holds 5% of them.
- Who holds each seat. A member who resigned or switched parties last week may still show here: the names are Wikidata’s.
- Not on this page. The open files end at election night: no council votes since, and no band councils.
