Eligible residents are reminded to check their voter information as soon as possible to confirm their eligibility and ensure their information is accurate for the 2026 Municipal Election.
Friday, October 9, 2026, is the deadline to make additions, deletions, or revisions to the Voters List. Voters who miss this deadline will still be able to register at a Voting Station on Election Day. Being on the Voters List will help ensure a smooth and efficient voting experience.
Residents can check their voter information, update their information, or register through Elections NWT.
Who is Eligible to Vote?
To be eligible to vote, a person must:
• be at least 18 years of age;
• be a Canadian citizen; and
