Find the people who represent you
Who is my local MP?
Start with your country. The name of the office—and the way to find the right person—depends on where you live. These links cover national or federal representatives.
This page does not collect your address or postcode. You enter those details only after opening the lookup service you choose. Official services are labelled; Parliament Pulse is independent.
New Zealand: find your electorate MP
If you know an MP’s name, use the Parliament Pulse MP directory. If you need to identify your electorate, use the electorate tools and confirm boundary information with the Electoral Commission.
Election candidates and serving MPs are different. Check whether a map describes the current Parliament or the electorate boundaries for an upcoming election. The Electoral Commission explains that places are covered by both a general and a Māori electorate; the electoral roll you are on determines which electorate vote you cast.
Australia: your federal MP and senators
Your local House member represents a federal electorate. Senators are different people who represent your state or territory. The AEC lookup identifies an electorate and its incumbent House member; Parliament’s directory covers both chambers.
Some postcodes or suburbs cross electorate boundaries. The AEC says to contact it if the result is ambiguous. Current and redistributed electorates may both be displayed; a future boundary change does not itself change your current MP. Parliament Pulse Australia is available as a public beta; coverage and review gaps are disclosed.
United Kingdom: find your constituency MP
UK Parliament’s MP finder lets you search by postcode, location or an MP’s name. This is for the House of Commons; it is separate from finding members of devolved legislatures or local councillors.
United States: find your House representative
The US House of Representatives provides a ZIP-code lookup for your congressional district and the representative serving it. A congressional representative is a different office from a US senator or a state legislator.
The House service explains that election maps or incoming members can differ from the district and representative serving in the current Congress. Follow its guidance if the result is ambiguous or appears to describe a different election boundary.
Canada: find your House of Commons MP
The House of Commons directory supports searches by name, constituency, postal code or political affiliation. Use the current-member results for your federal MP, rather than provincial or municipal representatives.
Once you’ve found the right person
- Open their official profile and confirm their current office and constituency.
- Use their published office contact details. Explain your issue and how it relates to their responsibilities.
- If you are researching an election, distinguish the current representative from candidates seeking the seat.
For New Zealand research, you can also compare sourced party policies or open the voting guide. These links stay on the established NZ website; this global guide does not duplicate its representative profiles.
