  "account": "Eleven school trustees in Winnipeg have been acclaimed ahead of the upcoming election, a trend that is nearly three times more prevalent than in the previous election. Four candidates were acclaimed during the 2022 election, according to official results. The Winnipeg School Division boasts the most uncontested school trustee seats this election, with five uncontested positions.\n\nTamara Kuly, a school trustee acclaimed in the Winnipeg School Division, expressed relief at winning by acclamation but also found it peculiar. She stated that winning uncontested is a relief, but it feels odd as she did not actively run for the position. Kuly was contested during her 2022 run for school trustee, as confirmed by official election results.\n\nLaura Reimer, a former school trustee from the St. Boniface and Louis Riel School Division in the early 2000s, offered insight into why trustees often receive acclaim. Reimer suggested that there are two primary reasons: the trustee's exceptional performance or the fact that democracy is becoming less relevant.",
  "summary": "Eleven school trustees have been acclaimed ahead of election day, which is nearly three times more acclaimed races than last election.",
