Conducting the Count in the 2025 Territorial Elections
Yukon electors will receive two distinguishable ballots in the 2025 territorial elections, one for the regular vote and one for the plebiscite vote.
According to Chief Electoral Officer Maxwell Harvey, the ballots will be separated by perforation, with the traditional ballot listing electoral districts and candidates, and the plebiscite ballot featuring a distinct design with a blue stripe and clear markings.
- The regular ballot will list 2-4 candidates and their party or independent status, depending on the electoral riding.
- The plebiscite ballot will contain the plebiscite question and yes or no options.
Neither of the ballots themselves contain information identifying the voter.
Harvey ensures that the two ballots will be separated for electors at the polls to maintain the secrecy of the votes.
