It's another chance to have your voices heard as municipalities throughout southwest Saskatchewan hold their elections today.

Swift Current is electing six councillors and three public school board trustees.

Voting runs from 9am to 8pm today at multiple polling stations around the city.

"I just really encourage all our local residents to please take part of our democratic process," said Jackie Schlamp, returning officer and clerk for the City of Swift Current. "To help shape the city and elect your Council representatives."

The city is providing options for those who can't get themselves to the polls.

"If any local resident needs a ride to the polling stations just call SWIFT transit at 306-770-2263 and arrange for a pickup," said Jackie Schlamp, returning officer and clerk for the City of Swift Current. "They will be taken to the polling station, allowed to vote and returned back to their residence."

Results will come in pretty quickly after 8pm.

"Within a half hour they will be posted on the screens that are (at council chambers)," Schlamp said. "The council chambers is open to the public starting at 7pm. We will also post them to the city's social media platforms."

We will be providing results on the radio and on Swift Current Online throughout the evening.
