Winning vote strength map Incumbency results
The 2021 Nunavut general election was held on October 25, 2021, to return the members of the 6th Nunavut Legislature . Since the adoption of a fixed election date law in 2014,[2] general elections in Nunavut are held in the last Monday of October in the fourth calendar year following the last elections.[3] The Legislative Assembly of Nunavut can be dissolved earlier by the Commissioner of Nunavut on the advice of the Premier of Nunavut .
Unlike most legislatures in Canada, the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut operates on a non-partisan consensus government model. Candidates in territorial elections run as independents rather than being nominated by political parties . The premier and executive council are then selected internally by the MLAs at the first special sitting of the new legislative session.
The election was held using single-member districts, and successful candidates were determined through the first past the post system.
