Four candidates enter federal race

Okanagan-Shuswap voters will experience the shortest ballot in years when they go to the polls May 2.

As of the close of nominations Monday, there were four candidates running in the federal election — Greig Crockett with the Greens, Liberal Janna Francis, Nikki Inouye with the NDP and Conservative Colin Mayes.

“That’s all the candidates there are,” said Susan Friend, Elections Canada media relations officer.

In the 2008 election, there were six candidates on the ballot in Okanagan-Shuswap, while there were seven in 2006, eight in 2004 and seven in 2000.
