No provincial riding is named for Moose Jaw, because the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan’s boundary file gives no terms of reuse. The riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP) covering Moose Jaw is Moose Jaw—Lake Centre—Lanigan, and Fraser Tolmie (Conservative Party of Canada) represents it in the House of Commons. For local government, Moose Jaw is a city. No open list of councils exists in Saskatchewan, so no mayor of Moose Jaw is named here.

- Who holds each seat. The members named here are Wikidata’s, kept up by volunteers; a by-election or a floor crossing may take a few days to show.
- Which riding. A riding is listed when 5% or more of the place’s 2021 Census residents live in it; the largest share comes first.
- Election results. The 2019 and 2021 figures are Elections Canada’s official counts on the ridings drawn in 2013; the “today’s boundaries” figures are its transposition of the 2021 vote onto the 2023 ridings, an estimate built from polling divisions.
- Not on this page. Council budgets, band councils, and which party runs the council: the open lists carry no party, and most councils have none.
