Residents of the Rural Municipality of Morris now know who will be on the ballot for the upcoming municipal election. As of September 18, seven candidates have registered for the seven open council positions, and Scott Siemens is the only candidate for Reeve.
According to the RM of Morris election registration page, the council candidates are Shane Kroeker, Al Rowe, Solomon Wiebe, Darren Mazinke, Cory Friesen, Susan Sivonen, and Frank Harder. Registration closes September 22, 2026, so this list may still change if more candidates come forward before the deadline.
The nomination period runs from September 16 to 22. Voting day for Manitoba municipal elections is Wednesday, October 28, 2026, under the provincial election schedule.
Scott Siemens is seeking a second term as Reeve. He was acclaimed in 2022 after Ralph Groening retired following 27 years in municipal politics. With only one registered candidate so far, Siemens could be acclaimed again unless another resident files papers before the deadline.
The RM of Morris has a population of 3,049 and includes communities such as Rosenort, Lowe Farm, and Sperling. Voters will head to the polls on October 28 to elect their council.
