The nomination period for prospective candidates in Victoria’s byelection are now open.

Prospective candidates have until Nov. 6 at 4 p.m. to get their nominations in.

Victoria residents vote to elect one city councillor on Dec. 12.

To obtain a Candidate Nomination Form, contact the Legislative Services office at city hall by calling 250-361-0571 or email elections@victoria.ca, as the building remains closed to the public due to COVID-19.

Candidates will be declared no later than Nov. 16 and a candidate profile guide will be available on the city’s website by Nov. 17.

A byelection was planned for earlier this year to replace Laurel Collins who stepped down from council after being elected a Member of Parliament in October 2019.
