Winnipeg, MB - The 2014 General Civic Election for the City of Winnipeg will be held on Wednesday, October 22, 2014. Eligible voters have the opportunity to cast ballots for Mayor, Councillors and School Trustees.

The City of Winnipeg Election website has been launched, much earlier than in previous elections, and can be found at winnipeg.ca/2014Election

The website contains everything voters and candidates will need to know about the 2014 municipal election.

Information on who is eligible to vote, where and how you can vote, advance voting opportunities, and all legislation pertaining to the upcoming election can be found on the website. The website will be updated continuously as more information becomes available.

The Election website will also be useful for individuals seeking to run in the general civic election. Information on the registration and nomination processes, legislation on campaign expenses and campaign signage can all be found on the easy to use website.

“We thought it was important to provide as much information, as early as possible, so that potential candidates understand the process and all legislation related to running for civic office”, said Marc Lemoine, Senior Election Official.

Information regarding the website, and other election information, is available by contacting the City of Winnipeg Contact Centre at 311 or by visiting the City of Winnipeg’s web page City of Winnipeg - 2014 Election
