The byelection will be held May 13th to fill the seat which opened up with the resignation of Donnie Snook.
Anne Marie Mullen is organising the meeting and she tells CHSJ News most people are surprised at the commitment you have to make and the fact you could be getting phone calls at 3 or 4 in the morning.
Mullen says the amount of money you have to spend to get elected might deter some people from running. How much you have to spend depends on what you want to put into it.
Chris Belyea, who ran for Council last May, says he spent something like 25 hundred dollars but adds you really need as much as 4 thousand dollars to do it right.
The meeting is taking place at Saint John High by the Canterbury Street entrance.
