In a notice, the PRRD says voter registration will take place at the time of voting with ‘no need’ to pre-register.
Those looking to cast a ballot must be resident, property owner, or a First Nation within the electoral area. Two pieces of ID must be presented at the time of voting, with at least one containing a signature. Non-resident property owners will be asked to provide proof of ownership in order to be eligible.
Current Alternative Director Reid Graham will be running against Madeleine Lehmann after the nomination period closed on January 17th.
The position was previously held by Peace River North MLA Jordan Kealy, with the new director to fill the remainder of his term, which extends into 2026.
