Candidate Information

The 2025 Candidate Information Guide contains information on pertinent legislation, elected official positions, candidate eligibility, nomination procedures, campaigning, and voting procedures. This information is not a replacement for consulting the actual legislation or obtaining legal advice. There may be severe penalties, including fines and disqualification from elected office if you are found to be in breach of any provisions.

To authorize Mackenzie County to publish your photo and contact information on our website and in the media, please complete the Authorization for Release of Personal Information Form.

The Nomination Paper and Candidate Acceptance Form (Form 4) is valid if signed by at least five eligible voters. It is recommended that candidates obtain more than the required number of signatures by completing the Supplementary Nominations and Contact Information Form to avoid eligibility challenges. Candidates must also complete and file the Candidate Financial Information Form (Form 5) at the same time as their Nomination Paper.
