The provincial election has seen a total of 243 candidates as the deadline to file paperwork for a nomination passed on Saturday.

Across the 61 constituents of the province, the number of candidates running is above the 236 candidates in the 2020 Provincial Election, but less than the record 268 candidates in the 2016 Provincial Election.

“Nomination day is an exciting one for candidates, and we have 243 people who have met the requirements of running in a provincial election and will have their names appear on the ballots in their constituencies,” says Dr. Michael Boda, Chief Electoral Officer for Saskatchewan. “With the close of nominations today, roughly 1 million ballots will be printed this Thanksgiving weekend and then delivered to the 61 constituency returning offices before Voting Week begins October 22.”

With the nominations now in Elections Saskatchewan is focusing on getting plenty of people registered for the election.

That includes vote by mail, with both it and homebound voting having an application deadline of October 19. Currently, they've approved 27,678 applications.

Elections Saskatchewan has also been hard at work sending out voter information cards, which have so far been sent 801,362 times across the province. That consists of 784,300 printed cards through Canada Post, 12,845 electronic voter cards to be delivered by email, and 4,217 voter cards delivered by SMS text message.

The cards detail each registered voter their voting location options, dates and times. Any eligible voter who did not register early and is not on the voter's list can still vote in person, they can register at the same time they arrive at their voting location.
