Thinking about taking a shot at running for Winnipeg’s top job?
The city announced Friday that the campaign period for Winnipeggers running for mayor begins this Sunday. Outgoing Mayor Brian Bowman has said he won’t be running for re-election.
The upcoming municipal election takes place Oct. 26, when the city will vote for a mayor, councillors and school trustees. The deadline to register as a mayoral candidate is the afternoon of Sept. 20.
Winnipeggers who intend to run for mayor need to register in person with the senior election official in the city clerk’s department.
