Voters in St. George will have plenty of options to choose from when they head to the polling station on May 10, 2021 for the New Brunswick municipal elections.Twelve candidates will be vying for only six council positions. COVID-19 has complicated how candidates are able to reach voters this year, so Charlotte County Television organized "Meet the Candidates for St George Council" as part of the TV station's extensive Vote'21 coverage of the candidates across Charlotte County.

Only seven out of the 12 candidates running for town council agreed to be interviewed for the TV special aimed at introducing them to voters. In keeping with election guidelines, each candidate had the same questions with up to 10 minutes of interview time. How the candidates chose to use their time was up to them. The candidates were sent the questions and the rules prior to the interview and were given separate interview times. 

Although the Election Day in New Brunswick is May 10, voters are reminded that those who want to cast their vote early the advance polls can do so at the Municipal Returning Office in Saint Stephen at the Holy Rosary Catholic Church Hall located at 63 Union Street. There is also a vote-by-mail option available by going to electionsNB.ca.  Any elector in New Brunswick can apply to vote by mail, and electors who choose this method of voting are often temporarily studying, working, or travelling outside of the province, or who may be housebound due to incapacity or illness.  In light of the Covid-19 pandemic, electors who are not comfortable visiting a voting location may also choose to apply to have a ballot mailed to them.
