There is one less candidate in the North Battleford city council by-election race.
Steven Cormons, who had filed his papers in time for the Wednesday nomination deadline, withdrew from the race Thursday.
The move came during the 24-hour window where candidates were allowed to withdraw their names. As a result Cormons will not be listed on the ballot during the Sept. 14 by-election.
The withdrawal leaves seven candidates in the race for one vacant city council seat. The remaining candidates are Krista Crockett, Morley Dickson, Dianne Frank, Greg Lightfoot, Brian Maunula, Brad Pattinson and Thomas Schwab.
