Byelection will fill vacancy left by MLA Heather Maahs' resignation, could happen in March
A Chilliwack school board byelection will likely be held in March, and could cost an estimated $100,000.
Maahs resigned from her long-time position as a trustee on Dec. 2 "to focus on the job before me and make British Columbia a province that speaks up for families, celebrates our accomplishments, invests in small business and resources, and applies common sense decision-making." That gives a rough estimate of March, according to an agenda item for the Dec. 10 public board meeting. That timeline is meant to accommodate the nomination period, advance voting and time to train election staff and consider the holidays between now and then.
The byelection before that cost about $51,000. The district has allocated a budget of $100,000 for this one.
