2029 Register of Candidates

Anyone considering running for office should confirm their eligibility as a first step. To be eligible, a prospective candidate must be:

• At least 18 years old on Nomination Day
• A Canadian citizen
• A resident of Spruce Grove for the 6 consecutive months immediately before Nomination Day
• A resident of Spruce Grove on Election Day
• Not otherwise ineligible or disqualified under the Local Authorities Election Act

It is a candidate’s responsibility to confirm eligibility before engaging in the nomination process.

No. Submitting a Notice of Intent to Run is one step in the process and does not mean you have been nominated and will appear on the ballot.

Once a prospective candidate’s Notice of Intent to Run submission is complete and they are added to the Register of Candidates, they can accept campaign contributions and incur campaign expenses.

To become a nominated candidate and appear on the ballot, a candidate must complete the nomination process during the Nomination Period.

The Register of Candidates is a record of all candidates who have given notice to the Spruce Grove Election Office that they intend to seek nomination for office in the next general election, as required by the Local Authorities Election Act.

No, a deposit is not required when filing a Notice of Intent to Run.

Candidates are required to file a disclosure statement with the Election Office, on or before March 1 of each year.
