Provincial and municipal election dates revised
The Saskatchewan government has announced new dates for upcoming provincial, municipal and school board elections.
The province announced Wednesday afternoon 2020 election dates will be adjusted slightly to include more time between the two dates. Without the change, the 2020 provincial election would be have been held five days after municipal and school board elections. The next Saskatchewan provincial election is now scheduled to be held Oct. 26, 2020.
Municipal and school board votes are scheduled for two weeks later, on Nov. 9, 2020.
The province has also updated legislation so that the next election, after the 2020 vote, will be held on the last Monday in October. Future municipal elections will take place the second Wednesday of November, unless it falls on Remembrance Day.
