Four candidates submitted their nomination documents to run in the February 15 Athabasca provincial by-election in Saskatchewan.

Clint Arnason will run for the Buffalo Party of Saskatchewan, Georgina Jolibois for the NDP, Jim Lemaigre for the Saskatchewan Party, and Darwin Roy as an independent.

The deadline for nomination was Saturday 14:00.

Athabasca residents wishing to vote by mail must apply by February 2nd. Applications can be made online at votebymail.elections.sk.ca or by calling 1-833-419-0141.

Those who want to vote in person can do so during pre-voting 9 February to 13 February or on by-election day, 15 February.

The by-election was called after former NDP-LPW Buckley Belanger stepped down to run for the Liberal Party in the 2021 federal election.

Belanger held the seat for more than 26 years.
