US EditionElections Canada Confirms Win for NDP Incumbent Lori Idlout in Nunavut
- The federal election results for Nunavut, posted after a verification process, show that Lori Idlout of the NDP secured her seat in the April 28 vote.
- The agency's vote validation process, completed after a two-week delay caused by a blizzard delaying the final ballot box from Naujaat, led to the official result.
- The validation reduced Idlout's margin over Liberal challenger Kilikvak Kabloona from the unofficial 77 votes to 41 votes posted Friday evening on Elections Canada's website.
- In Nunavut, where 7,868 valid votes were counted, the 41-vote margin between candidates is not small enough to prompt a judicial recount under Elections Canada's rules, which require a difference of fewer than seven votes to initiate such a review.
- Idlout cannot yet be sworn in as Nunavut MP due to the delay, while nationally the Liberals hold 170 seats, two short of a majority government as of May 17, 2025.
