Multiple By-Elections Held Across Canada, UK in October

Multiple municipal elections and by-elections are scheduled across various regions in October 2025, featuring contests between multiple candidates. The Isle of Wight Council by-election for the Lake North ward on October 2 will have five candidates from the Conservative, Liberal Democrats, Labour, Green Party, and Reform UK vying for a seat left vacant by the resignation of Reform Councillor David Maclean. Similarly, Cold Lake is preparing for its municipal election on October 20, with advance polls in early October and candidates already nominated for mayor and council positions. Springfield's Ward 4 city council race is notably competitive, with four candidates competing to advance to the November election. In La Ronge, a by-election on October 8 will feature four candidates competing to fill a vacancy created by a resignation due to political infighting and administrative challenges. These elections demonstrate active local political engagement with candidates frequently having prior experience in local contests.
