List of Nunavut general elections

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article provides a summary of results for the general elections to the Canadian territory of Nunavut's unicameral legislative body, the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut. Nunavut was created in 1999 from part of the Northwest Territories, and has had two general elections since then. For elections prior to 1999 covering the area that is now Nunavut, see list of Northwest Territories general elections.

There were eighteen ridings for both elections. Nunavut uses consensus government in which there are no political parties. The table below shows the winners of every riding for each election. Full details on any election are linked via the year of the election at the top of the column.

The Nunavut Electoral Boundries Commission has made various recommendations, which if adopted, would see the number of districts increase to twenty-three for the next election (PDF).
