If this week is any indication, there seems to be more interest in the municipal election in Hanover this time around, than four years ago.

Ruth Funk, Assistant Senior Election Official for the Rural Municipality of Hanover says there were 67 votes cast on Tuesday in advance voting. In the 2018 municipal election, there were 39 votes cast during advance, mobile and mail-in ballots.

One of the differences between the 2018 and 2022 elections is that this year residents will be voting in a new Reeve, something that did not happen the last time residents went to the polls. 

The 2022 municipal election takes place on October 26th. In Hanover, there are elections in wards three and four, as well as for reeve. 

All voting takes place from 8 am to 8 pm. Voting locations are as follows:

Ward One

  • New Bothwell Recreation Centre
  • Kleefeld Recreation Centre
  • Mitchell Community Centre
  • Blumenort Firehall

Ward Two

  • Mitchell Community Centre

Ward Three
