The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Senneterre council | 2 November 2025 | 4 November 2029 |

| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
There are no 2025 counts here: Elections Canada’s terms bar their commercial reuse, so 2021 is the latest open result. Parliament was last elected on 28 April 2025, and the National Assembly of Québec on 5 October 2026. Senneterre 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.

- Election results. Where the page says “today’s boundaries”, it means Elections Canada’s estimate of the 2021 vote on the 2023 ridings; every other count is official and on the 2013 map.
- Which riding. Each place is put in its ridings by where its 2021 Census residents live; a riding holding 5% or more of them is listed.
- Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
- Not on this page. Band councils, and what members did once elected: the open record stops at the vote.
- 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. Residents per seat divide the 2021 Census population by every council seat, the head of council’s included.
