The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.

There are no 2025 counts here: Elections Canada’s terms bar their commercial reuse, so 2021 is the latest open result. Provincially the last general election was on 5 October 2026, for the National Assembly of Québec; federally, on 28 April 2025. The council elected on 2 November 2025 serves until 4 November 2029, when Waswanipi council is chosen again. It is the first Sunday in November every four years, as the Act respecting elections and referendums in municipalities provides.

electionsquebec.qc.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Not on this page. Party control (Canadian councils are mostly elected without parties, and the open lists record none), council budgets, and band councils.
- 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.
- Which riding. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
- Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
