Six Council Seats Uncontested
For Lesser Slave River voters, the only ballot to cast in this municipal election was for the office of the Reeve. This is because all running Councillor candidates have won by acclamation for the 2025-2029 term.
Acclamation occurs when the number of candidates equals the number of vacant seats. As a result, the outcome is predetermined, and there is no need for a voting process. The MD warmly welcomes both new and returning Council members.
