KAMSACK — Of the five rural municipalities in the Kamsack district, only two divisions in two of those RMs will require polls to determine who will represent those divisions as councillors, while all others, who are all incumbents, were elected by acclamation.
Terms of councillors of even-numbered divisions in RMs across Saskatchewan expire this year and nominations for candidates for those divisions were received by the RM returning officers on Oct. 5. Where only one candidate was nominated, he or she was declared elected by acclamation. Nominees had until 4 p.m. on Oct. 6 to withdraw their names if they wished.
Conrad Vogel, the incumbent Div. 6 councillor at the RM of St. Philips, is being opposed by Ron Sernowski, while Dale Schwartz, the incumbent Div. 4 councillor at the RM of Cote, is being opposed by Tanner Chutskoff.
