Final candidates list released for provincial election

With the provincial election now two weeks away, final candidate lists have been filed with Elections Saskatchewan.

Voters in the region will have candidates from five of Saskatchewan’s six registered political parties to choose from.

Of all the nearby electoral districts, though, only one has five candidates — Saskatchewan Rivers.

The only party not represented in the region is the Saskatchewan Liberal Association, which is only running three candidates this year.

Both the Saskatchewan Party and the NDP are running full slates of 61 candidates, while the Green Party managed to nom¬¬¬¬inate 60, just missing out on one candidate in Regina.

The Progressive Conservatives have nominated 31, while the Buffalo Party, formerly known as Wexit Saskatchewan, has nominated 17.

The provincial election is set for Oct. 26.
