2018 Nomination Packages available

Local Governments or Boards of Education in the Cariboo-Chilcotin Region will have either:

* already made their 2018 Nomination Packages available (Quesnel/100 Mile House)
* will make theirs available today (Cariboo Regional District/School District #28)
* will make theirs available on Monday, July 30th (City of Williams Lake)

Although nomination packages may be picked up in the days ahead, candidates are unable to file with the Chief Election Officer or their Deputy of the local government or Board of Education they are interested in running for until the time period of Tuesday, September 4th at 9am to Friday, September 14th at 4pm

The requirements to run for elected office on a local government or Board of Education is:

* Be at least 18 years of age on general voting day (October 20)
* Be a Canadian citizen
* Have been a resident of British Columbia for six months immediately prior to filing nomination documents; and
* Not be disqualified under the Local Government Act or any other enactment from being nominated for, being elected to or holding the office, or be otherwise disqualified by law

If you work for either a local government/school district or provincial/federal governments or other employer  -- you will want to check in with your supervisor or HR person before submitting an elected office nomination for local government or School Districts #27/28  as there may be additional requirements including taking a leave from your work position and subsequently resigning from your job, if elected...

As I mentioned last week, a website to keep handy is the BC Local Gov't/School District Election Reporting System 2018 which is run by Civic Info BC.  In September, as individuals become official candidates for the Oct 20th local government/Board of Education Elections, you can monitor it there... click here
