LIST OF CANDIDATES




Registration of Candidates


Every person who proposes to be a candidate for the office of Mayor or Councillor must register with the Returning Officer by filing in person the prescribed Form 1 entitled Notice of Registration, as provided in the "Candidate Information on Campaign Expenses and Contributions" booklet available from the Office of the Returning Officer, Main Floor, Council Building, 510 Main Street. This registration can only be done during the relevant Campaign Period, and must be completed prior to the closing of Nominations.

Candidates for Mayor may register any time commencing Wednesday, May 1, 2002, and no later than Nomination Day, Wednesday, September 25, 2002. Candidates for Councillor may register any time commencing Tuesday, June 25, 2002, and no later than Nomination Day, Wednesday, September 25, 2002.

Once a candidate has filed a Notice of Registration, he/she becomes a registered candidate. Until a candidate is registered, neither the candidate nor his/her campaign organization are entitled to accept contributions or incur any expenses. Also, the candidate may not spend any of his/her own money on the campaign before registration.

It is important to note that the candidate registration process and the nomination process are separate. A registered candidate is not entitled to have his or her name on the ballot until he or she is nominated. Registration alone does not confirm status as a candidate in the Municipal Election and being registered does not commit a candidate to file Nomination Papers.

Nominations


All candidates seeking election must file Nomination Papers in person with the Returning Officer, or designate, during the Nomination Period.

Nomination Papers will be accepted after the Notice of Nomination is published, commencing on Tuesday, September 10, 2002. Nomination Papers must be filed no later than 2:00 p.m., on Wednesday, September 25, 2002, Nomination Day.

Each Nomination Paper includes a declaration as to eligibility to run as a candidate in the form prescribed by The Local Authorities Election Act, to be taken by the candidate when filing the Nomination Papers during the nomination period. The onus is on the candidate filing the Nomination Papers to file a bona fide Nomination Paper meeting all requirements.

The City of Winnipeg Act requires that candidates seeking election to the Office of Mayor must have a minimum of 250 signatures of qualified electors residing within the City of Winnipeg at large. As eligibility is subject to verification with the official List of Electors, it is suggested that prospective candidates obtain extra names to ensure that the minimum requirement of 250 eligible electors is met.

The Local Authorities Election Act requires that candidates seeking election to the Office of Councillor or School Trustee must have a minimum of 25 signatures of qualified electors whose names appear on the List of Electors for the Ward in which they are seeking election. An elector may sign the Nomination Papers of more than one candidate. As eligibility is subject to verification with the Official List of Electors, it is suggested that prospective candidates obtain extra names to ensure that the minimum requirement of 25 eligible electors is met.

Nomination Papers for candidates seeking election to the Office of Mayor, Councillor or School Trustee are available from the Office of the Returning Officer, Main Floor, Council Building, 510 Main Street, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Once filed, Nomination Papers will be made available for public inspection and the Returning Officer will post a list of nominations in the Council Building at City Hall.

Where more candidates are nominated than are required to be elected, any candidate may submit to the Returning Officer, his/her withdrawal, in person, in writing, prior to 2:00 p.m. on Friday, September 27, 2002, and that withdrawal will be accepted if a sufficient number of candidates remain to fill the office.

Where only one candidate is nominated for the particular office, the Returning Officer will declare the candidate duly elected by ACCLAMATION upon the close of nominations at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 25, 2002.
