People with the Lennox Island First Nation will go to the polls later this spring.

A nomination meeting is scheduled for April 30 at the school on Lennox Island from 5 to 7 p.m.

Nominations will be accepted for the position of chief, two on-reserve councillors and one off-reserve councillor. Chief Matilda Ramjattan said the election will likely follow in early June.

The last election was held in 2013, when 293 ballots were cast. Matilda Ramjattan beat then-chief Darlene Bernard in a 146 to 117 vote, while Leslie Labobe took 29 votes for chief. Current on-reserve councillors are Stevie Bernard and Debbie Bernard. Chris Sapier won the spot of off-reserve councillor, but moved back to the reserve, so a by-election was held and Mary Moore-Phillips won the post.

About 450 people call Lennox Island home, according to the band's website.
