Joe CAnd just as I was about to get up, the last Whistle Bend South poll has reported.
So, barring a flip in the Vuntut Gwitchin recount, we have our final numbers.
STATE OF THE PARTIES AT 00:00 MST:
6 polls left to report across the territory, only Whistle Bend South too close to call and Vuntut Gwitchin has an automatic recount.
But the Yukon Party has won a comfortable majority government, returning to government for the first time in nine years.
While Yukoners have voted in favour of Ranked Vote in the plebiscite, it doesn't matter as the new government will not follow through.
And that's where I will leave it tonight.
I think there's enough of the electoral reform #plebiscite vote in to say that Yukoners have voted in favour of changing to Ranked Vote.
But this is non-binding, and the Yukon Party has promised that it will keep First Past The Post, regardless of the result of the plebiscite.
And with the last poll in Porter Creek South just in, the Yukon Party now have 11 MLAs elected. That is their majority now locked in.
The Liberals will have a presence in the legislature, after they take the seat of Vuntut Gwitchin.
In 2021, they lost this seat by random chance following a tie.
STATE OF THE PARTIES AT 23:00 MST:
The Yukon Party has won a majority government, after flipping one Liberal seat and leading in three others.
We've finally just heard from Vuntut Gwitchin.
It's the smallest of Liberal leads at this point. I'd be surprised if it holds.
Remember that this seat went to the drawing of lots in 2021.
Ranked vote still leading in the #plebiscite on electoral reform. If it holds, it will be the second time that a province or territory has voted to change its electoral system.
It will also be the second time that the government of the day didn't follow through with the result.
Two thirds of the polls are now reporting, and notwithstanding that weird flip that just happened in Klondike, I am still calling a Yukon Party majority government.
