- Can I run for councillor in my municipality and for electoral area director in my regional district? Yes.
- Can I be both a local government representative (mayor, councillor, electoral area director, islands trustee or school trustee) and an Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) or Member of Parliament (MP)? Yes, however there is a considerable amount of time involved in filling any of these offices; you may choose to do just one.
- Can I be both mayor and councillor in the same local government? No. You can only hold one office in the same local government.
- Can I run for office if I work for the local government holding the election? No, there is a specific restriction against both working for, and holding office in, the same local government. However, if you were to take a leave of absence from your job, you could run in the election. If elected, you would have to resign your job.
- Can I run for office in a regional district electoral area if I work for a municipality that is a member of the regional district? Yes, although it might not be wise. If elected you could be vulnerable to allegations of conflict of interest because of your employment.
- Can I run for office in a municipality if the municipality is a member of the regional district I work for? Yes, although it might not be wise. If elected you could be vulnerable to allegations of conflict of interest because of your employment.
DON QUIXOTE VS. CITY HALL When an American gets mad, he says "where's my Gun". When a Canadian gets pissed off he says "Where is my pen, I'm going to send a letter to the EDITOR". When the EDITOR won't publish his letter he sets up his own BLOG page. When I received enough support to get a Council Seat the dogma of the establishment became : "Better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside pissing in." (Only time will tell !)

That would really get the political ground shaking if someone were to try to pursue either of the first two options available for the politically ambitious. Cheers Shawn Lee a Vernon Taxpayer.
