Who’s running in my riding? Saskatchewan’s federal election candidates

Saskatchewan voters are heading back to the polls for a federal election. This vote will help decide Canada’s next prime minister and which party will form the next government in Ottawa.

With municipal and provincial elections held last fall, this marks the third time in six months that people in Saskatchewan are voting. But this election is different. It’s about national issues like the cost of living, health care, and Canada’s relationship with the U.S.
