The election will be held to fill a councilor position left vacant when Bill LaForme resigned in April due to personal reasons.
MCFN council consists of the chief and seven council members.
The four candidates on the ballot are Ellen Lorriane Coady, Ken Hughes, Ashley Sault, and Luanne Vandecamp, said a MCFN press release.
Patrick Laforme was also nominated during the process but declined to be on the ballot.
The election will take place on August 17, from 9 am to 8 pm at the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation Community Centre, said the release.
MCFN Band Registry members who are 18 and older by the time of the by-election are eligible to vote.
The candidate who wins the by-election will begin their term immediately after being declared the winner.
Members will have the opportunity to vote in person on the day, or if they cannot make it or live off reserve, they can send ballots by mail.
