New provincial regulations now require that all candidates participating in provincial elections must post a $200 bond and require 25 signatures from constituents. Previously, no bond was required, but it was necessary to obtain 100 signatures from constituents. The new bond is refundable to all candidates who manage to garner at least 15% of the vote. Incidentally, Freedom Party will post bond for all approved candidates running in any provincial election.
