The Longest Ballot Committee (LBC) has announced plans to field 200 candidates in the upcoming byelection in the Alberta riding where Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre seeks to secure a seat.
The LBC laid out the plan in an email sent to supporters, saying the riding of Battle River-Crowfoot “needs 200 candidates” and the group will “do our best to make a long ballot happen.” The group also called for those living in or near the riding to help collect nomination signatures for the candidates because each person needs 100 local voters’ signatures to be nominated.
