Hard deadlines today for those wanting to run in the upcoming municipal or local school board elections.

Your nomination papers must be submitted no later than 2 pm on Friday, April 10.

Elections NB Chief Electoral Officer Kim Poffenroth says it’s not unusual for New Brunswickers to wait until the last minute in municipal elections to submit their nomination paperwork to get their name on the ballot.

Several new names were added to the candidates’ lists just this week.

You can visit the Elections NB website to see who is running.

Election day is May 11.
