Three #Nunavut constituencies will go to automatic recounts as the margin of victory was under 2%.

We have winners across all 22 constituencies in #Nunavut after yesterday's election.

Only three constituencies do not yet have a clear winner in #Nunavut. Two of those have not reported anything as yet.

Eight incumbents have held their seats. Four have lost.

Four hours after the first polls closed, and two hours after the last polls closed, only 7 out of 20 constituencies have declared any votes thus far.

Incumbents are trailing in all of the ridings where they are running, and where we have votes.

Not sure how long it will take to get more results, so I think it's time to go to bed.

The first elected tick of the night goes to Brian Koonoo, who has been elected in Tununiq.

Polls in Iqaluit closed three hours ago. The last polls in the mountain time zone closed an hour ago.

So far, only five polls across the territory have reported. No constituency has a projected winner apart from the two acclaimed seats.

Three hours left of voting in the #Nunavut General Election.

Only 20 of the 22 constituencies are voting today, as two constituencies have seen just a single candidate nominated and thus acclaimed.

Nunavut has a non-partisan electoral system, meaning that all candidates run as independents.
