Nominations are now accepted for Municipal Elections.
You can hand in your filled out nomination papers starting today at 9 am.
Kirk Dawson, the City of Dauphin’s Senior Election Official, says it’s already been busy at city hall.
“You can drop off your nomination papers if they wish to run for mayor or council. That runs through September the 18th at 4:30 PM. We’ve had a brisk start to the day.”
He encourages anyone handing in their packages to have a few extra signatures.
“We ask for 25 eligible voters’ signatures to be nominated. But we ask for two or three more just to ensure that there are no complications in last minute, whether maybe the person hasn’t resided in the city for six months or something that might disqualify them for some reason. By getting an extra three or four then it really makes the process very simple and avoids any last minute delays in getting nominated.”
The names of those on the ballot will be announced next Thursday at one in the afternoon in the council chambers of City Hall.
