Innisfail-Sylvan Lake by-election called for July 12
The writ has been dropped for two provincial by-elections, including one for Innisfail-Sylvan Lake.
The vote to choose a new MLA for the constituency will be held on Thursday, July 12. Advance voting will take place July 3 – 7.
The seat for the riding became vacant when Don MacIntyre resigned suddenly on February 5 after being charged with sexual assault and sexual interference. The case is working toward a resolution and is scheduled to return to court in Red Deer on January 11, 2019.
So far, three parties have announced their candidates for the by-election. The United Conservative Party is represented by Devin Dreeshen, the NDP by Nicole Mooney, and the Alberta Party by Abagail Douglass.
