Abstract

The 2021 Yukon election took place in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic; pandemic management, housing, and spending promises all featured prominently in the campaign. The election ended with the Yukon Party and Liberal Party tied with eight seats, and the NDP had three. To stay in power, the Liberals formed a minority government supported by the NDP through a Confidence and Supply Agreement.
