Carolyn Bennett resignation

[edit]

She seems to pulling the same routine as Annamie Paul, announcing she will resign but not actually doing it. The House of Commons website says she's still a member; Elections Canada hasn't announced a vacancy. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 07:30, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I came across many related pages, that had her tenure as MP ending last year. If you want to undo all my edits & other's edits, then be my guest. GoodDay (talk) 07:58, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ugh. No, I'll just do Bennett's own page. It looks like everyone assumed she'd file her paperwork and she never did; maybe she's using Nadine Dorries for a role model. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 16:54, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Latest Durham By-Election can be held is March 18, 2024

[edit]

Got reverted so i'll be clear about it, subsection 57(3) of the Canada Elections Act [1] "(3) Subject to subsection (4) and section 56.2, polling day shall be on a Monday.", the already linked source [2] states " by-election must be held on a Monday, at least 36 days but no more than 50 days after the day the by-election is announced". March 19th and 20th 2024 are a Tuesday and Wednesday respectively, latest the Durham By-Election can be held is March 18, 2024. WanukeX (talk) 02:20, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that. I missed the Monday part when I scanned the Elections Canada announcement. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 20:42, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Halifax

[edit]

There is no comment whatsoever about Andy Fillmore resigning or dying or whatever. You can't have a byelection unless there's a vacancy. All the other byelection ridings have a comment explaining why and when the riding is vacant. GBC (talk) 22:13, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Expected byelections are added when a sitting member announces they plan to resign; waiting until their resignation takes effect isn't necessary. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 00:18, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But it doesn't say if Fillmore has declared any intentions. That's my point. GBC (talk) 13:28, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's in the citation. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 14:20, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Longest Ballot

[edit]

LaSalle-Emard seems to be the current target of the Longest Ballot group. There are already some 15 candidates with the same official agent surname as previously. GBC (talk) 17:25, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
