FIND YOUR REP
Who represents you?
Enter your Canadian postal code. We'll find your federal MP and your provincial MPP / MLA / MNA in one shot, with a direct link to each profile.
Your riding, federal and provincial
Every address in Canada has at least two elected representatives: a federal MP in the House of Commons and a provincial or territorial member in the legislature. Their districts are drawn by different bodies and rarely line up, so this lookup returns both. A postal code is matched to the districts it falls in — and because one postal code can straddle a boundary, the result is a strong guide rather than an official ruling.
Federal vs provincial ridings
Federal ridings — officially electoral districts — are redrawn after each decennial census by independent commissions, one per province, in a process administered with Elections Canada. The current map comes from the 2023 Representation Order and has 343 electoral districts.
Provincial and territorial districts are set under each jurisdiction's own law, by its own boundaries commission, on its own schedule — see, for example, Elections Ontario, Élections Québec, Elections BC and Elections Alberta. A provincial district can share a name with a federal riding and still cover different streets.
What your provincial member is called
- Ontario: MPP — Member of Provincial Parliament
- Quebec: MNA — Member of the National Assembly
- Newfoundland and Labrador: MHA — Member of the House of Assembly
- British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut: MLA — Member of the Legislative Assembly
Federally, everyone is represented by an MP — a Member of Parliament.
How the postal-code lookup works
Your postal code is matched to the electoral districts it falls in through the Represent API, and we show the current member for each, linked to their profile. We don't store your postal code. For the authoritative federal answer, use your full address in Elections Canada's Voter Information Service; for your provincial district, your provincial elections agency offers the same.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find my riding by postal code?
Enter your postal code in the lookup above. It returns your federal riding and MP and your provincial district and member, each linked to their profile. To confirm where you vote, use your full street address in Elections Canada's Voter Information Service, which resolves addresses rather than postal codes.
Who is my MPP, MLA or MNA?
It is the member elected for your provincial or territorial district. The title depends on the legislature: MPP in Ontario, MNA in Quebec, MHA in Newfoundland and Labrador, and MLA in the other provinces and the three territories. Your federal representative is always an MP.
Are my federal and provincial ridings the same?
Usually not. Federal ridings are drawn by independent federal boundaries commissions after each census; provincial districts are drawn by each province's own commission on its own timetable. The two maps often share neither boundaries nor names.
Why did my postal code return the wrong riding or more than one?
Postal codes are built for mail delivery, not electoral geography, and one postal code can straddle a riding boundary. When the exact answer matters, look up your full address with Elections Canada or your provincial elections agency.
How many federal ridings are there?
343. The 2023 Representation Order set the House of Commons at 343 electoral districts, each electing one MP.
