KAMLOOPS — The candidate field has been set for the 2024 provincial election, with the deadline to file nomination papers having passed at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday (Sept. 28).

There are a few last-minute ballot alterations in the Kamloops area.

John Kidder, previously announced as the B.C. Green Party candidate for Cariboo-Chilcotin, will not appear on the ballot. The only choices for Cariboo-Chilcotin voters will be Lorne Doerkson of the BC Conservatives and Michael Moses of the BC NDP.

Chase-area farmer Tristan Cavers will carry the Green banner in Kamloops-North Thompson. Cavers is the brother of former Green candidate and former Kamloops councillor Donovan Cavers. The other two candidates in Kamloops-North Thompson are the BC NDP’s Maddi Genn and Ward Stamer of the BC Conservatives.

Armstrong-area health coach Sherry Roy has joined the ballot in Salmon Arm-Shuswap as an independent. Voters in that riding will choose between five candidates — Roy, Sylvia Lindgren of the BC NDP, David L. Williams of the BC Conservatives, Jed Wiebe of the BC Greens and Greg McCune, who was initially a candidate for BC United but is now running as an independent.
