Local Government
Significant changes to local government wards took place in the 2020s, with an associated reorganisation of the Community Boards within Buckinghamshire.
Since the 2025 local governement elections, The Lee has formed part of the Chiltern North ward of Buckinghamshire Council; this ward has three councillors, who are Mohammed Fayyaz (LibDem), Justine Fulford (LibDem) and Frances Kneller (LibDem).
In addition to The Lee, the ward is made up of the parishes of Ashley Green, Chartridge, Cholesbury-cum-St Leonards and the northern part of Chesham, and can be viewed on an interactive map.
The Lee, along with Amersham, Ashley Green, Chartridge, Chesham, Chesham Bois, Cholesbury Cum St Leonards, Great Missenden, Hazlemere, Latimer and Ley Hill, Little Missenden and Penn, are together represented at local level by the East Chilterns Community Board.
National Government
The Lee was a part of the Chesham and Amersham constituency for many decades, but since 2024 has been a part of the newly formed Mid Buckinghamshire constituency. This is a large constituency bounded by Chartridge in the east and extending in the north and west to the boundary with Oxfordshire as can be seen on this map. The Member of Parliament for Mid Buckinghamshire is Greg Smith (Cons).
