The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Air Ronge council | 13 November 2024 | 8 November 2028 |

| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
Air Ronge council was elected on 13 November 2024, and the next vote is on 8 November 2028. That date comes from the The Local Government Election Act, 2015, which sets the second Wednesday in November every four years for cities, towns and villages. The Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan was last elected on 28 October 2024, and the House of Commons on 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.
