How to Find Your Ontario MPP (Provincial Councillor)

Ontario uses Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) — not "Councillor" (municipal). Here's how to find yours:

Step-by-Step (Official Method)

  1. Visit Elections Ontario: elections.on.ca
  2. Click "Find my electoral district" (under "Voters" or "Resources")
  3. Enter your residential address (street, city, postal code)
  4. Click "Search"
  5. Your electoral district (riding) displays on map
  6. Click "Current MPP" link below map
  7. View: Name, party, contact info (constituency office, Queen's Park, email, phone)

Alternative Methods

  • Legislative Assembly website: ola.org → "MPPs" → "Find my MPP" (postal code search)
  • Postal code lookup: Many MPP websites have "Find your MPP" tools
  • Call: Elections Ontario 1-888-668-8683
  • Municipal office: Can direct you (different from MPP)

Current Context (2024)

  • 124 ridings (increased from 122 in 2018)
  • Government: Progressive Conservative (Doug Ford, Premier)
  • Official Opposition: NDP (Marit Stiles)
  • Other parties: Liberal, Green
  • Last election: June 2, 2022
  • Next fixed date: June 4, 2026

MPP vs. Councillor

  • MPP: Provincial laws, health, education, highways, provincial budget
  • Councillor: Municipal (city/town) — garbage, zoning, local roads, libraries, property taxes
  • MP: Federal (Ottawa) — immigration, criminal law, national defense, CRA

Your MPP is your provincial representative. Your councillor is municipal. Don't confuse them.
