Campaign Roundup - Day 2:

• There will be several new faces at City Hall after this municipal election. Current Mayor Charlie Clark is not seeking re-election, and Wards 2, 3, 5, 7, and 8 have no incumbent Councillor running.
  
  
• Two candidates are running unopposed. Bev Dubois, incumbent Ward 9 Councillor, and Zach Jeffries, incumbent Ward 10 Councilor, are facing no challengers.
  
  
• Four of Saskatoon’s mayoral candidates - Don Atchison, Cynthia Block, Cary Tarasoff, and Gordon Wyant - participated in a debate hosted by the Greater Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce. If you missed it, you can watch it online.
  
  
• Saskatoon’s $277,809.40 spending cap for mayoral campaigns is significantly higher than Regina’s $77,809 limit, prompting debate over fairness and accessibility.
  
  
• Advance voting begins on November 1st and runs until November 4th. During advance voting, you can cast a ballot at any polling station. To locate a polling station, visit Elections Saskatoon’s website here.
