Yukoners Going to the Polls Nov. 3, Territory’s Premier Says
Premier Mike Pemberton calls election amid minority government relying on New Democrats' support under fixed election rules, setting vote on last allowed day.
- On Oct. 2, 2025, Yukon Premier Mike Pemberton told supporters in Carcross that the territory will hold an election on Nov. 3, the last day allowed under the territory's fixed election legislation.
- The Liberals hold a minority with eight members and rely on the support of the three New Democrats via a confidence and supply agreement, with Pemberton leading since June without a seat.
- Pemberton said housing will be the party's top priority and that they will also focus on health care, affordability, the economy and First Nations partnerships.
- Residents will also be asked to vote in a non-binding plebiscite on whether to change from first past the post to a ranked vote, and the election comes as the territory's cost of living grows.
- Historically, the Yukon Party governed from 2002 to 2016 and the New Democrats have pledged a universal school nutrition program while the Yukon Party would cut a planned 34 per cent increase to Yukon power rates.
