It’s after 8 p.m. and the polls are now closed. The only exception was in Dettah, where polls statyed open until 8:26 p.m. due to a delay in opening things up.

As the results start to roll in, we can start to safely make some calls.

One race we can call for sure is in Nunakput as Lucy Kuptana is the MLA-elect for that riding. She looks to have defeated Vince Teddy according to the unofficial results but with all polls reporting, she has a nearly 200-vote lead.

Shauna Morgan looks like she has Yellowknife North all wrapped up, as does Kieron Testart in Range Lake. R.J. Simpson appears to be in control in Hay River North and Lucy Kuptana looks to be the MLA-elect in Nunakput. Richard Edjericon is looking to be making a return to the legislative assembly in Tu-Nedhe-Wiilideh and Danny McNeely will return to the assembly as the MLA for Sahtu, defeating incumbent Paulie Chinna and Dolly Pierrot.

Sheryl Yakeleya is the MLA-elect in Dehcho with all polls reporting. She beat three candidates, including incumbent Ron Bonnetrouge. Rocky Simpson is also out as Vince McKay is the new MLA-elect in Hay River South.

Several races are still too close to call, including Frame Lake, which has been a three-horse race between Julian Morse, Stuart Wray and Spencer Tracy; Stacie Arden Smith and Kate Reid and neck-and-neck with incumbent Katrina Nokleby sitting third; and Vince McKay is still out in front in Hay River South over incumbent Rocky Simpson and Wally Schumann.
