2024 Municipal Election Information

The Town of Rosthern follows The Local Government Election Act, 2015. The next municipal general election will take place on November 13, 2024. The current Mayor and Councillors will complete their four year term in October 2024. Terms of office for members of council, including the Mayor, begin at the first meeting of council following a general municipal election.

If a Councillor resigns from their position, a by-election must be held to fill the vacancy, unless the vacancy happens in the year of a general election.

The Act states that the Municipal Administrator will perform the function of the Returning Officer for the municipality unless Town Council appoints another person to act in that capacity. The Returning Officer is the person responsible for the overall process of the election, such as calling for and accepting nominations, arranging for election workers, identifying polling locations, ordering ballots, monitoring the voting process on election day and ultimately declaring the successful candidates. The Local Government Election Act, 2015 outlines the process that must be followed to ensure that the election is conducted correctly.

Call for Nominations is now closed.
