There are 6 candidates running in the election to choose an Ordinary Member to represent the Constituency of Canada in the Nunatsiavut Assembly.
The by-election will be held on Wednesday, February 17, 2021.
Yesterday we aired three of the candidates with their platforms that are running. They were Zippie Nochasak, Diane Gear White and Susan Onalik.
Nanette Blake is the Nunatsiavut’s Electoral Officer; she says that mail in ballots were sent out on January 15th, and that they need to be received by February 17th.
Blake adds that she has already received a few ballots, and that there is no advance election for this By-Election.
Today on our AtjiKangitut program we will hear from Sabina Jung and Patricia White to hear more about their platform.
