Background:
There were no candidates in Division 5 for the October 18 municipal election, so the Province directed Lethbridge County to hold a By-election for the vacant seat. Division 5 is in the northwest portion of the County, including Monarch and the area surrounding the Town of Nobleford and Village of Barons.
