The Lacombe-Ponoka United Conservative Party Constituency Association is in the process of selecting the UCP candidate that will represent our riding in the next Provincial election.

At this time, we have three nomination contestants that are vying for the position: (in alphabetical order) Thalia Hibbs, Ron Orr and Rita Reich.

In order to vote in this nomination contest, you will need to have a valid UCP membership by August 30, 2018 (membership sales cutoff date). Please go to www.unitedconservative.ca/Membership to buy your membership online, or contact the local Constituency Association.

A Nomination Contestants forum will be held at the Lacombe Memorial Centre on Thursday, September 13 starting at 7:00 p.m.

Come out and get to know the nominees and ask any questions that you may have. The person we select, could be the next MLA for our area, so your attendance and participation is important. The local media is welcome to attend.

There will be two voting dates and locations to cast your ballot:

  • Lacombe Legion - Thursday, September 20, from 12:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
  • Ponoka Legion - Friday, September 21, from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

In order to vote, you need a valid UCP membership, Photo ID and proof of residence. Please note that there will be no memberships sold at the door! The winning candidate will be announced after the poll closes on Friday.

The Lacombe-Ponoka UCP CA is the local riding association representing the United Conservative Party in our area.

We are a group of dedicated volunteers who are responsible for all political activities at the electoral division level including fundraising, candidate selection, policy development and election campaigning.

Please contact us if you are interested in volunteering or financially supporting our association.
