The municipal election is approaching quickly.

There are only 74 days left until election day. So far, four candidates have declared their intentions to run for mayor, and eight plan to run for City Council.

With the race heating up, we wanted to know if Airdrie has really started thinking about the upcoming election. We hit the streets to ask exactly that.

Almost everyone we spoke to on Main Street said that they had not given much thought to the municipal election, and that it was still too early.

"No I haven't, I've been away. I just returned, but I will in the future," said one lady.

"No, I haven't been following it this early," answered another woman.

"I haven't been following the election this year, no," replied a man.

While it might feel far away, the election is coming fast. Nomination day is September 18, and the election will take place on October 16.
