There will be five candidates on the ballot for the Estevan constituency in the upcoming provincial election.
The field was finalized at 2 p.m. Saturday when the deadline to file nominations passed.
Incumbent MLA Lori Carr of the Saskatchewan Party, who is seeking her second term, will be challenged by Seth Lendrum of the New Democratic Party, Scott Meyers of the Green Party, Linda Sopp of the Progressive Conservatives and Phil Zajac of the Buffalo Party.
The provincial election date is Oct. 26.
Anita Kuntz, who is the returning officer for the Estevan constituency, is asking people that when they receive their voter information cards in the mail, to please check all information and the location of their designated polling station.
If people have any questions, they can contact the returning office for Estevan at 1-306-637-4655.
Kuntz noted many of the polling locations might be different from what the public is used to.
Advanced polls will be held at the Nicholson Centre in the Estevan Leisure Centre daily from Oct. 20-24, from noon-8 p.m.
Voters are asked to use the main entrance to the leisure centre, and then follow the signs to the Nicholson Centre. Then they are asked to exit out of the Nicholson Centre’s front doors.
Advanced polls will also be located at the Midale Civic Centre and the Oungre Memorial Regional Park complex at the same times.
Kuntz said they anticipate a good turnout, so be aware that advanced polls can be busy, especially the first two days for the advanced polls.
