NWT Electoral Districts Boundaries Commissions have been provided for by legislation. They have carried out a process of public consultation by holding hearings in communities and have reported to the Assembly. The practice of appointing a judge and two other commissioners was adopted in 1978, then followed for the next twenty years, and Electoral Districts Boundaries Commissions were held in 1978, 1983, 1989, 1993, 1997 (Nunavut only) and 1998 (western NWT only). This is more often than in most provinces or territories but reflects changes resulting from the closure of the Pine Point mine (1989 commission), correspondence of districts with the division boundary (1993) and the first post-division elections (1997 and 1998).
