It91裸聊视频檚 time for those wanting to run for mayor, city councillor, Board of Education trustee or regional district director in the Central Okanagan to make it offcial.

The 10-day nomination period opened Monday following weeks of would-be candidates picking up nomination packages in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Lake Country, Peachland and the Central Okanagan Regional District.

Between now and Sept. 14, anyone interested in running in the 2018 civic election has to make it official by filing nomination papers with the chief elections officer in the jurisdiction where they plan to run.

The nomination period will run until Sept. 14.

In Kelowna, nomination papers can be filed at the Office of the City Clerk at Kelowna City Hall. A nomination deposit of $100 is required at time of filing. The money will be returned when the candidate files his or her campaign financial disclosure following the Oct. 20 election.

Unlike the picking up of nomination packages, once nomination documents are accepted, they become public information. Several people who picked up papers in the last few weeks have declined to allow their names to be made public.
