Yukon election campaign to kick off with new ridings, vote on electoral reform
The election includes a non-binding referendum on switching from first past the post to ranked voting and features 21 ridings, up from 19, with 15 boundary changes.
- Yukon is expected to call its territorial election on October 3, 2025, with voting scheduled for November 3 across 21 ridings.

- Over 36,000 eligible voters will also take part in a non-binding referendum on whether to switch the current method of electing legislature members—which uses a simple plurality—to a system where voters rank candidates in order of preference.
- Premier Mike Pemberton said he would meet Commissioner Adeline Webber to formally end the 35th legislative assembly and trigger the election.
- This election could alter Yukon’s political landscape as the Liberals have governed since 2016 and held a minority government since 2021.
