You can not run for multiple offices in the same election.
It would be really great to have a few councillors run for mayor and clear deck a bit to allow a few new-comers to council. I live in ward one and generally think McHattie does a good job, but new blood is a great thing, and for all kinds of reasons it is hard for incumbents to be defeated (it rarely happens at all) and so few people challenge them. It is beyond me why McHattie would want to leave council for the chance to come in fourth or third in the mayoral race, but if he does, I’ll be pleased at the broader choices of candidates in ward one as a result.
