CBC
Three of Iqaluit's four constituencies have reported unofficial results in the territorial election with two returning faces.
George Hickes will keep his seat representing Iqaluit-Tasiluk, and Adam Arreak Lightstone has been re-elected in Iqaluit-Manirajak.
A newcomer to the city territorial scene, but not to politics, is Janet Pitsiulaaq Brewster, who won the constituency of Iqaluit-Sinaa by seven votes. She took a leave of absence from her position as deputy mayor of Iqaluit to run for MLA.
In Aggu, the constituency left open by Paul Quassa's decision not to run again, Joanna Quassa beat out Methusalah Kunuk to become the next MLA to represent Igloolik.
Daniel Qavvik has been elected for the first time in Hudson's Bay. Before this Qavvik worked as a conservation officer in Sanikiluaq.
The election has 58 candidates vying for 22 seats across the territory. Of those, 16 candidates are running for re-election and 14 are women.
The election is only the first step in selecting the territory's next legislative assembly. MLAs, once elected, need to select a premier and a cabinet. That is tentatively scheduled to happen Nov. 17, when members take their sealskin-upholstered seats in the assembly at a leadership forum.
Five MLAs have been acclaimed to Nunavut's sixth Legislative Assembly, including the most recent premier, Joe Savikataaq, who will represent the constituency of Arviat South again in this assembly.
Also acclaimed was fellow Arviatmuit John Main, who will represent the residents of Arviat North-Whale Cove. He served as chair of the regular members' caucus in the fifth assembly, a role in consensus government that serves a similar function to leader of the opposition in the party system.
In Pangnirtung, Margaret Nakasuk has been acclaimed, as has David Akeeagok in the High Arctic riding of Quttiktuq and David Joanasie in South Baffin.
All the acclaimed MLAs, aside from Main, held cabinet positions in the previous government.
Joanna Awa, host of CBC Nunavut's Inuktitut-language supper-hour TV news broadcast Igalaaq, will host CBC's live election night special in Inuktitut and English.
The show starts at 9 p.m. ET, when polls close in western Nunavut.
She'll be joined by guests Nancy Karetak-Lindell, Nunavut's former Liberal MP, and Paul Okalik, Nunavut's first premier.
