Administering school board by-elections are an important part of the Elections Yukon mandate. As with all elections in the territory, we work to ensure impartial, non-partisan, and compliant processes, accessible to all eligible electors. With this important by-election, we continue to modernize processes, and increase accessibility and convenience with simple and secure online voting options. I encourage all interested candidates and eligible electors to learn about the process, participate, and exercise their right to vote in the by-election.
