Saskatchewan Election 2024

Elections Saskatchewan is sending out letters letting residents know how to apply for mail-ballots. 

The letters were sent out during the Labour Day long weekend to make people aware that a provincial election is coming as well as mail-in ballot information. 

Tim Kydd, senior director of outreach and communications for Elections Saskatchewan, said voting by mail was popular during the pandemic. 

Over the weekend, we had a poll on Discover Weyburn to find out the thoughts of voters in the southeast ahead of the provincial election, which will likely be called in the coming days. Those who took part in the poll answered which party they were most aligned with, which party they were least likely to vote for, and which leader they trusted the most. The responses below are for the three ridings in the immediate Weyburn area - Weyburn-Bengough, Moosomin-Montmartre, and Estevan-Big Muddy.

The writ to officially kick off the 2024 Saskatchewan Election is set to be dropped within the next few days, as the election needs to be held on or before October 28th. Right now, the Saskatchewan Party has candidates in all 61 ridings, with the NDP having nominated candidates in 53 of the ridings. There are 15 Saskatchewan United Party candidates, six Buffalo Party candidates, nine Progressive Conservative Candidates, and 27 Green Party candidates. 

The province will be going to the polls on October 28th, or possibly earlier. We want to know what you think about the pressing issues the province faces, and which party you are leaning towards as we get closer to election time. 

Swift Current’s new NDP candidate announced his campaign and laid out his platform last night at the Lyric Theatre. 

The New Democratic Party of Saskatchewan has selected Jay Kimball to represent them in the upcoming election. Jay Kimball has been living in Swift Current since February, 2023, and is originally from a farm near Rockglen. He hopes to fight the carbon tax, increase education funding and improve the cost of living.
