Salmo residents will go to the polls on Saturday, Nov. 8 to elect a new village councillor.

The nomination period opens on Sept. 23 and closes at 4 p.m. on Oct. 3. Advanced polling is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 29 at the village office while general voting will be held at the Salmo Valley Youth and Community Centre.

The byelection is being held following the resignation of councillor Melanie Cox in May. It will be the second byelection in the village this term. In January 2023, Todd Wallace stepped down for health reasons.

Jonathan Heatlie won a three-way race to replace him.
