Town of Cobourg Reminds Everyone The Time Has Come to Run for Office

In City Hall

By Cecilia Nasmith/Today’s Northumberland
The Town of Cobourg reminds everyone that the nomination period for this year’s municipal election began Monday morning at 8:30 a.m.

In Cobourg, a mayor, deputy mayor, municipal councillors and school board trustees will be elected on Oct. 24, and interested candidates can now file nomination papers at the Municipal Clerk’s office in Victoria Hall (55 King St. W.) weekdays between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. until Nomination Day (Aug. 19) at 2 p.m..

“A potential candidate must file nomination papers prior to receiving any campaign contributions and/or expending any funds on a campaign,” the announcement stressed.

Candidate Information Packages can be picked up at the Municipal Clerk’s office, with all information required to proceed with a nomination. Interested individuals are encouraged to schedule a time to meet with the Municipal Clerk to review this information and learn more about the process.

For more information about Cobourg’s municipal election, including municipal and school-board nominations, visit CobourgVotes.ca (at the time of the press release, no nominations had yet been filed).

Now is also the time to verify your information on the voter’s list, and encourage your friends and family to do likewise.

The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation is responsible for collecting the information of Ontario residents to create a Preliminary List of Electors, and one way they collect this information is through voterlookup.ca. This is where Ontarians can ad their names (and the names of other members of their households) to a secure database, and confirm or update their information if required.
