Joe Savikataaq P. J. Akeeagok The 2021 Nunavut general election was held on October 25, 2021, to return the members of the 6th Nunavut Legislature.

Unlike most legislatures in Canada, the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut operates on a non-partisan consensus government model.

Candidates in territorial elections run as independents rather than being nominated by political parties.

The premier and executive council are then selected internally by the MLAs at the first special sitting of the new legislative session.

The election was held using single-member districts and successful candidates were determined through the first past the post system.
