Quebec Inuit representative wants investigation over voting problems in Nunavik
- Makivvik, an organization representing Quebec Inuit, calls on Elections Canada to investigate voting problems in Nunavik during the April 28, 2025 federal election.
- The call follows reports that some Nunavik communities faced inconsistent polling hours or could not vote at all due to logistical issues and late ballot arrivals.
- Polling stations in affected communities opened late, closed early, or never opened, leaving voters, including Elia Lauzon, unable to cast ballots as workers left early due to weather and flights.
- The riding of Abitibi-Baie-James-Nunavik-Eeyou, with 65,833 registered voters, was won by Liberal Mandy Gull-Masty over Bloc Québécois incumbent Sylvie Bérubé by 7,577 to 7,290 votes.
- Makivvik deems the voting situation "unacceptable in 2025" but welcomes Gull-Masty's election as a "significant step forward" for Nunavik representation.
