Earlier this week -- the Conservative Electors Association (not connected to the BC Conservative Party) updated their electoral registration paperwork with Elections BC to include new jurisdictions such as Quesnel/Williams Lake to run candidates under the "Conservative Electors Association" banner in local general elections in BC for Mayors, Councillors, Electoral Area Directors this October...
The Association has 3 key goals --
i) Safer Streets
ii) Lower Taxes
iii) Families First
More about the Conservative Electors Association on their website at https://www.conservativeassociation.ca/
Meanwhile -- the Conservative Electors Association have plans to run candidates in the Kamloops/Kelowna areas and will announce candidates in September. More from Castanet Kamloops: https://shrlnk.ca/s/Hv4fNLhh
From a historical perspective -- local voters of the Cariboo-Chilcotin have historically rejected those running as a formal slate for locally elected positions (Mayor, Councillor, Electoral Area Director or School Trustee).
The one and one time that there was a formal slate was in the 2008 Local Election in the District of 100 Mile House under the "100 MIle First" banner who run 1 Mayoral candidate/4 Councillors candidates and the ENTIRE slate was rejected in favour of those who were running independent campaigns and has NOT been attempted since...
It'll be interesting to see if this new slate effort -- *IF* it is attempted in Quesnel/Williams Lake this October -- has any success or goes down to defeat just like the "100 Mile First" slate initiative of 2008....
