Saskatchewan Election 2024

The contenders for the Swift Current riding in the 2024 Saskatchewan provincial election have hit the campaign trail.

Premier Scott Moe launched the election yesterday by asking the Lieutenant-Governor to dissolve the legislature ahead of an October 28th vote.

With the provincial election coming up, Elections Saskatchewan is reminding residents of the key dates of the election period.  

With the provincial election campaign kicking off today, there are 226 people, so far, who have announced their intention to seek a seat in the Saskatchewan Legislature, across the 61 ridings of the province. So far, just the two incumbent parties, the Saskatchewan Party and the NDP, have full slates of candidates nominated by the party. The Green Pary has 59 candidates listed so far as well.  

With the provincial election campaign now underway, the people of Saskatchewan will get to cast their ballots on October 28th. Over the course of the next 27 days, candidates in 61 ridings will be vying for the votes of the electorate, with the parties outlining how they will best tackle the issues facing the province.  

The question is, what are the issues facing the province according to the people of Saskatchewan? 

It's election season in Saskatchewan.

Premier Scott Moe has announced he'll be visiting Saskatchewan Lieutenant-Governor Russell Mirasty on Tuesday to dissolve parliament.

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. 

Everett Hindley has announced he is once again seeking re-election as MLA for Swift Current, with the Sask. Party.

Hindley opened up his campaign with a barbecue last night in Hansen Park, which is itself located in Kinetic Park.

Hindley has served as MLA for Swift Current since he was first elected in 2018.

"I'm running again for a third time this fall in the 2024 election because I think it's important to me," said Hindley. "I'm honoured and privileged to be able to serve as an MLA here for the City of Swift Current and it's a job I take pretty seriously."
