Iqaluit races among late results to pour in after 1 a.m. Tuesday
As the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers battled deep into extra innings of Game 3 of the World Series, Nunavut’s election results were also still dragging on. At 2 a.m.
Qikiqtarjuaq Arctic Co-op employees Lasaloosie and Monica Kukseak are among the last people voters in Monday’s Nunavut territorial election at Qikiqtarjuaq’s sole polling station. Voters went to the community hall before it shut down for the day at 7 p.m. In the riding of Uqqummiut the choice is between incumbent Mary Killiktee and challenger Gordon Kautuk. There is no specific issue that’s important to Kukseaks, but they feel like all citizens “must” vote in every election, Monica Kukseak says. (Photo by Arty Sarkisian)
