From Quebec come 78 MPs, 44 of them with the Liberal Party of Canada. Saint-Martin sends one MP to Ottawa from Beauce, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP): Jason Groleau (Conservative Party of Canada). Provincially, Saint-Martin votes in Beauce-Sud; the open record doesn’t name its MNA (Member of the National Assembly, Québec’s legislature) in the National Assembly of Québec, so the legislature’s own list is linked below. Voters in the parish municipality choose 6 councillors as well.

- 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.
- Election results. Ridings changed in 2023: the 2019 and 2021 results are on the old map, and the 2021 vote on today’s map is Elections Canada’s own estimate from polling divisions.
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- 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. Band councils, and what members did once elected: the open record stops at the vote.
