The race or, more accurately, lack of race for mayor and councillors of Battleford is grinding along.
As of Tuesday afternoon, six people have filed nomination papers for the six town council positions at Town Hall, with the nomination deadline set for 4 p.m. Wednesday.
So far only one person, current councillor David George, has put in his name for mayor.
Of the six individuals who have put in their name for council, three are seeking reelection. Councillors Susan McLean Tady, Doug Laing and Gordon Yarde have all put their names into the pot with hopes to return to the council chamber come election day Oct. 26.
The three other individuals who have filed papers are Ken Chartier, Judy Pruden and Kevin Russel.
Current Battleford mayor Derek Mahon has stated he is not seeking reelection, while current councillors Ames Leslie and Shelley Boutin-Gervais are still question marks.
