If you are interested in being nominated as a
candidate for the election, please go on the County
website at LSAC.ca or on the Alberta Municipal
Affairs website at www.municipalaffairs.gov.ab.ca/
mc_elections. You can also contact the County office
for more information.
In accordance with the changes to the Local
Authorities Election Act, Lac Ste. Anne County will
be maintaining a registry of individuals that intend to
be candidates in future elections on or after January
1, 2014. If someone intends to run in Lac Ste. Anne
County elections, and intends to begin raising funds
and receive donations for that purpose, they must be
registered with the Municipality under Section 147.21
of the Act, before accepting campaign contributions.
Proof of Elector Eligibility requires voter identification
for local authority elections where a list of electors is
not prepared. Lac Ste. Anne County does not have
a list of electors; therefore, identification will have
to be produced by any Lac Ste. Anne County
resident who wishes to vote. Acceptable forms of
identification include government issued picture ID,
showing the elector’s name and current address, or
two pieces of identification (one piece must identify
the elector’s name and one piece must establish the
elector’s current address):
•  Bank/credit card statement or personal cheque;
•  Correspondence issued by a school, college
or university;
•  Government cheque or cheque stub;
•  Income/property tax assessment notice;
•  Insurance policy or coverage card;
•  Letter from a pubic curator, public guardian or
public trustee;
•  Pension Plan statement of benefits, contribution
or participation;
•  Residential lease or mortgage statement;
•  Statement of government benefits: employment
insurance, old-age security, social assistance,
disability support or child tax benefit;
•  Utility bill: telephone, public utilities commission,
television, electricity, gas or water;
•  Vehicle ownership, registration or insurance
certificate; or
•  A letter or form (attestation) confirming that the
person lives at the stated address — examples of
such are available on the County website.
You will still have to sign the Statement of Elector
Eligibility as well as provide identification. For
additional information on the 2017 Election, please
