Nunavut voters fill hundreds of elected municipal positions

This story was updated on Tuesday, Oct. 24 at 8:26 a.m. ET to publish winners for three communities that became available overnight.

Nearly 500 elected positions were up for grabs when Nunavut voters headed to the polls for Monday’s municipal election.

Voters picked their mayors, municipal councillors and district education authority members for the next four years. Communities with alcohol education committees picked those members too.

Unofficial results are republished here from Elections Nunavut’s website.

In Sanikiluaq, the mayoral election will be held on Oct. 30, after a second call for candidates had to be issued because no one came forward by the Sept. 22 deadline to run. 

Similarly, the district education authority election in Kinngait was also deferred to Oct. 30. And in Gjoa Haven, the election for councillors will be held Nov. 20.

A liquor plebiscite in Gjoa Haven that asked people whether to ease alcohol rules was defeated when 60 per cent of voters opted to stay with the hamlet’s prohibition on liquor.
