Elections NB Is Looking For Candidates

Did you ever consider taking a stab at municipal politics?
Your chance is coming up with municipal elections to be held across the province on May 14th.

Chief Electoral Officer Michael Quinn tells CHSJ News because of a lack of media attention the people thinking about running municipally find out too late.

He says they have found in talking to people after elections that if they had known sooner that it was happening they would have thrown their name in the hat. 

In an effort to create awareness of the May 14th vote, Quinn is touring the province speaking to different groups on how the process works and why it's important to run.

Quinn tells the municipal level is where you can have the most impact politically because its where the issues really impact people in their daily lives.
