The nomination period for Winnipeg’s upcoming municipal election begins Wednesday, the city said.
Before their names end up on the Oct. 26 ballot, registered candidates for mayor, council and school trustee must submit nomination papers to prove they have support from eligible voters.
Mayoral candidates need at least 250 signatures from voters whose names appear on the voters list, while council and trustee candidates need at least 25 signatures from voters in the ward where they’re seeking election.
Candidates are required to submit their nomination papers in person — and show valid identification proving their name and current address — at the Susan A. Thompson Building prior to the deadline of 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
