Delta’s political landscape is set to change as the 2018 civic election gets underway this morning at 8 a.m.

As voters head to the polls, major change is a certainty. The impending shakeup starts at the top as Mayor Lois Jackson is set to run for a seat on council rather than seek another term after 19 years at the helm.

Counc. Ian Paton resigned his seat on July 1 to concentrate on his work as MLA for Delta South, and Counc. Heather King is not seeking re-election as she and her family are moving to Vancouver Island. With Counc. Sylvia Bishop running for mayor, that leaves three of six councillor seats up for grabs.

Five-term school trustee Fabian Milat announced on June 12 that he would not be running again this election, guaranteeing at least one new face on Delta’s seven-person school board.

Nominations closed at 4 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 14, with six candidates for mayor, 20 for council and 17 for school trustee joining the race for office.

Voters head to the polls on Saturday, Oct. 20, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. To register or to find out where to cast your ballot, head to delta.ca/elections. And keep an eye on our website for up-to-the-minute updates as the election unfolds.

Here’s a list of candidates who have officially declared their intention to run for either mayor, council or school board:
