There’s now an official date for Saskatchewan’s 28th general election.

When Prime Minister Stephen Harper dropped the writ this past Sunday, that automatically pushed Saskatchewan’s election ahead to the spring, which was widely believed would happen.
The province has a total of 61 constituencies. That’s up three from 2011.
