Of the 78 Commons seats from Quebec, the Liberal Party of Canada holds 44. In the National Assembly of Québec, Sainte-Thérèse belongs to Groulx; who holds it as MNA (Member of the National Assembly, Québec’s legislature) isn’t on an open record, so no one is named. The riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP) covering Sainte-Thérèse is Thérèse-De Blainville, and Madeleine Chenette (Liberal Party of Canada) represents it in the House of Commons. The city also elects 8 councillors to sit at the council table.

| Sainte-Thérèse council | 2 November 2025 | 4 November 2029 |

The National Assembly of Québec was last elected on 5 October 2026, and the House of Commons on 28 April 2025. Sainte-Thérèse votes next on 4 November 2029: the Act respecting elections and referendums in municipalities sets municipal elections on the first Sunday in November every four years. There are no 2025 counts here: Elections Canada’s terms bar their commercial reuse, so 2021 is the latest open result.

- Council size. Residents per seat divide the 2021 Census population by every council seat, the head of council’s included.
- 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.

- Not on this page. How councillors voted once in office, and band councils, are beyond the open record.
- Election results. Official counts for 2019 and 2021 are by the 2013 ridings; Elections Canada also re-counted the 2021 ballots onto the 2023 ridings by polling division, and that estimate is what “today’s boundaries” means here.
- Which riding. A place belongs to the riding where most of its 2021 Census residents live, plus any other with 5% or more.
