A municipal by-election will be held in Winkler on Thursday, December 12th. The passing of Don Fehr in late September meant there was an open seat on council, with about two years left in the current term.
Prospective candidates have until November 6th at 5 p.m. to submit their nomination papers and register, and must do so before they may begin to accept contributions, incur expenses, fundraise or borrow money for their campaign. Assistant City Manager Wendy Klassen has been named the Senior Election Official for the by-election.
The winner will join Councillors Andrew Froese, Michael Grenier, Don Friesen, Marvin Plett, Peter Froese and Mayor Henry Siemens.
Voters list additions, deletions and corrections can also now be done at City Hall during regular business hours and before end of day November 6th.
