TWENTY-Nine people have been nominated to run as candidates for Redland City Council in next month’s local government election.

Returning officer Harold Guy, who has been running elections in Redlands since 2012, said candidate nominations were slightly up on the last election.

Nominations for the council’s 10 seats and mayor closed at midday on Tuesday.

Candidates will learn where their names fall on ballot papers when Mr Guy draws names out of a box at 10am on Wednesday.

Mayor Karen WIlliams and former council general manager Greg Underwood were the only two candidates for the position of mayor.

  34. I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I come across
    a blog that’s both equally educative and interesting, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail
    on the head. The problem is something too few folks are speaking intelligently about.

    Now i’m very happy that I stumbled across this during my
    search for something concerning this.

  41. Wonderful article! That is the kind of information that should be
    shared around the internet. Shame on Google for now not positioning this post higher!

    Come on over and consult with my website . Thank you =)
