The Martensville Municipal election will take place on Wednesday, November 13th from 8:00am-8:00pm at the North Ridge Community Centre.
Advanced polls have already taken place, with residents able to cast their votes November 2nd, 6th and 9th at City Hall.
The municipal election occurs every four years where Martensville residents are able to vote for mayor and 6 councillors.
You are able to vote in the local election if you are a Canadian citizen over the age of 18 and have resided in Martensville for a minimum of three consecutive months and a resident of Saskatchewan for at least six consecutive months.
All voters are required to provide identification to be eligible to vote for proof of identity and establish their residency.
Government-issued photo identification is the best option, such as a driver’s license, but if that isn’t available, you may also provide two original pieces of information which contain your name and address, such as a utility bill issued to you within the past six months, and a credit card statement.
If you do not possess any form of acceptable identification, you are able to have another voter (with accepted proof of identity) fil out the required form available at the polling station to vouch for you.
This year, there are two candidates running for mayor, which include incumbent Kent Muench and Travis Sorenson.
There are 14 candidates running for a position on Martensville City Council, which include incumbents Darren MacDonald and Spencer Nikkel, as well as Tracy Cocks, Brad Blixt, Krista McCann, Mark Knox, Douglas O’Hara, Matthew Stavenow, Katharine Carter, Bren Hannay, Logan McCorriston, Stephen Ioannou, Derek Reddekopp and Shawn Sampson.
