Johnson is the riding Upton 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. The riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP) covering Upton is Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot—Acton, and Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay (Bloc Québécois) represents it in the House of Commons. Across Quebec, 44 of the 78 MPs sit with the Liberal Party of Canada. 6 councillors complete the municipality’s council.

- 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.
- 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. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
- Council size. For residents per seat, the head of council is counted as a seat, and the population is the 2021 Census figure.
- Council money. Per resident uses MAMH’s population; the 2024 financial report gives charges by service and the financial profile the revenue, debt and reserves.
