City of Medicine Hat to allow candidates to add campaign info to city website

Sep 23, 2025 | 2:38 PM

The City of Medicine Hat announced on Tuesday that it will allow the inclusion of candidate information on its 2025 municipal election website.

The information will be added to the official candidate list.

The City said in a release the decision was made to remove all links to election candidate information from the page after hearing concerns from the community that linking to candidate information could be perceived as an endorsement of viewpoints.

All links to candidate information were removed while the matter was further explored with the decision announced on Sept. 3.

The City said in a release that upon further review and consultation they determined that it is acceptable to provide links on its website to election candidate information, subject to the inclusion of an appropriate disclaimer.
