Veteran politicians and newcomers gathered with their supporters Monday to register as candidates for the Nov. 7 election.
At Sir Rupert Briercliffe Hall, at-large, or territorial, candidates began arriving at about 10:30 am. An hour later, there was a line of candidates and residents there to nominate them or serve as a witness.
Each candidate had to fill out a form and submit a $500 deposit; then the candidate, two nominators and a witness signed the nomination form. Raymond Phillips, elections officer for the at-large race, then administered the oath of candidacy.
According to a statement from the Elections Office issued today, the full list of candidates for the Nov. 7 election will be read today at 5 p.m.
