Thank you. With respect to the determination of residency, residency is defined in Section 1 of the act. Generally speaking, so long as an individual meets all of the eligibility requirements, there are general tests the courts use to determine residency where residency may be in question and those apply both to candidates as well as to electors. It’s important to note that an elector may only have one residence at one time and so where that person claims to be a resident is certainly germane to how a court would consider that, but there are other factors to consider. For example, where are their possessions, where they
might have other family members residing, where their mail is sent to, there are a variety of factors the courts have determined and used in the past to determine an individual’s residency and those would, I believe, also apply equally in the Northwest Territories.
