CALGARY (660 NEWS) – If you’re planning to run in the fall municipal election, you’ve got about a month before you must file your paperwork.
The nomination deadline is noon on Sept. 20.
Candidates are encouraged to file paperwork as soon as possible as there’s no flexibility on the Sept. 20 deadline.
Changes in provincial legislation have allowed candidates to file paperwork in person or by mail or courier since January 1, 2021. Due to this extended nomination period, in-person appointments for nominations will be provided in Fort McMurray. Past practise provided multiple locations for candidates to submit their nomination paperwork.
To make arrangements to file your nomination for mayor, councillor, or trustee for the Fort McMurray Public School Board, please contact the Elections Office at 780.743.7001 or elections@rmwb.ca .
To make arrangements to file your nomination for the Fort McMurray Roman Catholic Separate School Trustee, please call 780-799-5700.
