Results arrived at about 9:30pm in 2022, the last time Yellowknife held a municipal election. This year, Elections NWT is involved and some aspects of voting are significantly different (much of the 2022 vote was carried out by mail, one of several Covid-related protocols). That means the results could arrive earlier, although it’s hard to pin down exactly when.
If you want to read about the 21 city council candidates before heading to the polls, here’s a list of our interviews. You can also read the recap of our live 90-minute broadcast featuring the two candidates for mayor, Garett Cochrane and Melissa Syer.
The new mayor and council will be sworn in on November 2.
