Low voter turnout a ‘constant struggle,’ says Kivalliq Inuit Association president – Nunatsiaq News
Mar 19, 2021
In the last year, voter turnout for Nunavut’s Inuit organizations hasn’t topped 20 per cent
Despite a “constant struggle” to engage Inuit voters, the president of the Kivalliq Inuit Association says he’s confident the upcoming election will yield a higher voter turnout than other Inuit organization elections held in the last year, where less than 20 per cent of eligible voters casted a ballot.
The Kivalliq Inuit Association’s election for vice-president is scheduled for April 12, and has six candidates in the running.
Kono Tattuinee, who won his presidency with a 31 per cent voter turnout in 2019, said he believes there will be a better turnout than the last election because the tight race has garnered the interest of voters.
