16 men, one woman elected or acclaimed

Here are the preliminary results from the Oct. 27 territorial election, as calculated by Elections Nunavut.

Elections Nunavut says that about 8,000 people voted in the election, producing a Nunavut-wide turnout figure of about 71 per cent.

That's about 10 per cent lower than the 81 per cent turnout that Elections Nunavut estimated for the 2004 election.

Because of possible discrepancies in the way they're calculated, turnout estimates should be treated with caution.
