Background
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 will be held using single-member districts, and successful candidates will be determined through the first past the post system.
New electoral boundaries were introduced in this election. [5]
In July 2025, incumbent Premier P.J. Akeeagok announced he would not seek re-election. [6]
The deadline for candidate registration was September 26, 2025. 2 seats saw their MLAs acclaimed. [7]
