EDMONTON – More than 100 candidates are vying to win the Aug. 18 byelection in the rural Alberta riding of Battle River-Crowfoot.
Elections Canada’s website shows that Tomas Szuchewycz with the Longest Ballot Committee is the agent behind 103 of the 108 registered candidates.
Szuchewycz has said the committee has been registering candidates to protest Canada’s electoral system.
The committee has helped dozens of candidates register in multiple byelections in Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba since 2022.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is among the candidates seeking a seat in the House of Commons for the Battle River-Crowfoot riding.
Conservative Damien Kurek handily won the riding in the April general election but stepped down to allow Poilievre to run after the party leader lost his long-held Ottawa seat of Carleton.
