Candidates do not have to live in the jurisdiction in which they are running for office. However, in order to be nominated as a Candidate, they require two nominators who must be qualified electors in the jurisdiction they are running in.

If elected to office, the successful candidate will be expected to serve a 16-month term which officially begins by being sworn in at the public Council Meeting on July 4, 2017.

Besides general election day June 24, advance polls will be held June 14 and 20 in both wards. Only qualified electors in Oyama will be voting for the Oyama ward councillor and qualified electors in Carr香蕉视频直播檚 Landing will be voting for the Carr香蕉视频直播檚 Landing ward councillor.

Electors from other parts of Lake Country will not be invited to vote in this byelection,香蕉视频直播� said Seabrook.

The byelections are required because of the death of Oyama councillor Owen Dickie and the resignation of Matt Vader from council to join district staff.
