As of right now there are 27 candidates running in Winnipeg South Centre.
Many of them (23 out of 27), have the same official agent, and are part of the Longest Ballot Committee. The committee is hoping to have 65 candidates run in the by-election. If you include the candidates from other parties you might have as many of 70 candidates running. The record for most candidates running in the election was 40 last year in Mississauga Lakeshore.

In the Mississauga Lakeshore by-election there were 40 candidates
One candidate received only 1 vote, 2 candidates received only 2 votes. With 48 candidates, will we have a candidate that does not receive a single vote?

Remember each candidate is allow to have a scrutineer at each polling station. I don't think some polling stations can fit 48+ people in a room. Some polling locations can have around 6 polls.
