Along with all other local governments in British Columbia, the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) will be conducting general elections Nov. 19.
The upcoming elections will identify 12 electoral area directors for a three-year term of office, commencing in early December 2011.
The CRD nomination packages are now available in all three CRD offices for those who are interested in running for office. The office in 100 Mile House is at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre.
Potential candidates must complete the nomination forms and return them to the chief or deputy chief election officer at the CRD office in Williams Lake between 9 a.m. on Oct. 4 and 4 p.m. on Oct. 14 to participate in the 2011 elections.
In order to qualify to run for office, a person must be a Canadian Citizen, be at least 18 years old on Election Day, and have lived in B.C. for at least the last six months.
An individual is not eligible if they are disqualified by the Local Government Act or any other enactment from voting in an election in B.C. or from being nominated for, being elected to, or holding office.
