The municipality of Gilbert Plains has announced they are having a by-election in November.
Council passed a resolution, declaring a by-election is required on Tuesday’s council meeting.
Senior Elections Official, Leanne McKay, says they are hoping for a lot of strong residents that would like to step forward to help continue the work to becoming a more efficient community with taxpayers’ dollars.
They chose November 27th as the by-election date out of respect for the councillor who passed away and they had to call the by-election within 6 months.
The nomination period will begin in late September, and then potential candidates will meet with McKay to figure out all the paperwork and requirements for becoming a candidate. To be a candidate someone would have to be a resident of Gilbert Plains for 6 months.
