The sitting mayor has two challengers and there are 10 candidates vying for six city council seats in Quesnel in the Nov. 19 election.
Nomination deadline arrived at 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 14, with a total of 13 aspirants seeking seats in city hall.
Mayor Mary Sjostrom is seeking her second term at the helm of the city and is being challenged by three-term incumbent councillor Ron Paull and former councillor (2005-2008) Ron Craigmyle.
Of the 10 councillor candidates, three are incumbents — Mike Cave, Laurey-Anne Roodenberg and Sushil Thapar.
Seven non-incumbents — John Brisco, Ed Coleman, Cory Delves, Scott Elliot, Trevor Guldbransen, Paul Kainth and Mitch Vik — are also seeking seats.
Paull's mayoral bid and the decisions of incumbent councillors Coralee Oakes and Peter Couldwall to not seek re-election means Quesnel council will have at least three new councillors at the table when the new group meets for the inaugural meeting in early December, a couple of weeks after the civic election.
Candidates have until Oct. 21 to withdraw their names from the ballot.
The Nov. 19 civic election will result in a three-year term at city hall, with municipal elections being held every three years.
