In the census’s list of municipalities, Tuktoyaktuk is a hamlet. In the Northwest Territories, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Tuktoyaktuk’s mayor isn’t named. Of the 1 Commons seats from the Northwest Territories, the Liberal Party of Canada holds 1.

electionsnwt.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- Who holds each seat. A member who resigned or switched parties last week may still show here: the names are Wikidata’s.
- Not on this page. Band councils, municipal budgets and party control are left out; most councils sit without parties anyway.
- Election results. Elections Canada redrew the ridings in 2023 and re-tallied the 2021 ballots onto the new map from polling divisions; that estimate, and the official 2019 and 2021 counts on the old map, are what you see.
