Winton mayoral by-election date
Nominations have closed in the Winton Mayoral by-election.
Candidate nominations closed noon Tuesday, though the list of candidates is not yet publicly available.
The by-election will be held on Saturday, November 18 – one week before Winton people have to return to the polls for the state election on November 25.
A Winton mayoral by-election is required following the death in office of Mayor Butch Lenton earlier this month.
Polling will operate from 8am to 6pm on election day at Winton Court House.
Pre-poll also operates at the courthouse from 9am-5pm Monday, November 6 - Thursday, November 16 and 9am-6pm Friday, November 17.
The election was required due to the sad death of sitting mayor Butch Lenton on October 1.
