When Sainte-Élisabeth votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |

| Sainte-Élisabeth council | 2 November 2025 | 4 November 2029 |
| National Assembly of Québec | 5 October 2026 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
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. Parliament was last elected on 28 April 2025, and the National Assembly of Québec on 5 October 2026. Councils are elected on the first Sunday in November every four years, says the Act respecting elections and referendums in municipalities, so Sainte-Élisabeth votes next on 4 November 2029.

ste-elisabeth.qc.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Council size. For residents per seat, the head of council is counted as a seat, and the population is the 2021 Census figure.
- 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. The members named here are Wikidata’s, kept up by volunteers; a by-election or a floor crossing may take a few days to show.
- Not on this page. The open lists stop short of party labels, council budgets and band councils, so those are missing here.
- Which riding. A place belongs to the riding where most of its 2021 Census residents live, plus any other with 5% or more.
