Two candidates seek vacant Coalhurst council seat

Two candidates will appear on the ballot for a Coalhurst town council byelection in early December.

The nomination period for the Dec. 7 byelection closed at noon Nov. 9, with Lindsey De Kreek and Stephenie Karsten nominated for the vacant town councillor position.

Eligible Coalhurst residents will have three opportunities to vote in person, including two advance voting days: Wednesday, Dec. 2, from 2 to 8 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 5, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Election Day voting will take place Monday, Dec. 7, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. All in-person voting will be held at the Coalhurst Community Centre, at 527 50th Ave.

The deadline to apply to vote by special ballot is Friday, Nov. 13.

Residents are encouraged to check their registration on Alberta’s Permanent Electors List before voting. The election is the result of a vacancy on council following Brody Prete’s resignation in Aug.
