Lethbridge City Council cancels two meetings between Nomination Day and Election Day

LETHBRIDGE, AB – Two future council meetings have been cancelled for later in the year to accommodate the municipal election.

At Tuesday’s meeting, Lethbridge City Council voted 5-4 to scrap two meetings between Monday, September 20 (Nomination Day) and Monday, October 18 (Election Day).

Councillor Rob Miyashiro introduced the motion. He said that, “the period of time between Nomination Day and Election day is considered by the public primarily as the period for election campaigning rather than a period for City Council deliberation.”

“This is a prudent decision in order to allow the election process to unfold and not interfere with Council and vice versa,” he added.
