Impact on Upcoming 2026 Elections

Because the divisional boundary alteration review affects every electoral division, this process may trigger elections for all seven councillor divisions, subject to the Minister's Order. The Reeve is not affected and will continue to serve the remainder of the current term.

Election Structure Following Boundary Alteration

• Divisions 2, 4, and 6
  These divisions will fall into the next general election cycle and will elect councillors for a four‑year term.

• Divisions 1, 3, 5, and 7
  These divisions may be subject to a by‑election triggered by the boundary adjustment and would elect councillors for a two‑year term to realign with the municipal election cycle.  If a by-election is required it would be held on the 2026 General Election Day.

• Reeve
  The Reeve’s position is not impacted by this review and will next be up for election in 2028.

This approach ensures a smooth return to the standard alternating election cycle established for the municipality.
