A byelection date has been set to fill the seat left empty by a Winnipeg city councillor who died earlier this year.

Voters in the Elmwood-East Kildonan ward will head to the polls Oct. 25 to elect a new councillor.

The Elmwood-East Kildonan seat was formerly filled by Jason Schreyer, who died suddenly in April. He was first elected in 2014.

At last check, there were no registered candidates listed on the city’s website.

Meanwhile, voters in Louis Riel School Division Ward 3 and Pembina Trails School Division Ward 1 will also cast their ballots that day to elect new school trustees.

Information on the nomination process and who is eligible to vote can be found on the city’s website.
