Voters will have three choices for mayor of Powell River in the upcoming municipal election.
Nominations closed on Friday with incumbent councillors Maggie Hathaway and CaroleAnn Leishman running for the top spot. Ron Woznow, who previously ran for mayor in 2018, is running again.
There are 18 people running for six council seats.
The four incumbent councillors are looking to get re-elected: George Doubt, Cindy Elliott, Jim Palm and Rob Southcott.
