Candidate Inquiries and Responses
Access questions submitted by candidates and the County's responses, shared to support fairness and transparency throughout the election period.
Running for office can come with many questions. While a wealth of information is available on the Haldimand County website, candidates may need additional details about County services, operations, and programs.
To support fairness and transparency during the election period, relevant candidate questions and County responses will be shared on this page so that all candidates have access to the same information.

How the process works
This process helps to:
- Avoid duplicate requests
- Make efficient use of staff resources
- Ensure all candidates, third-party advertisers, and prospective candidates have access to the same information
