This fall, 53 candidates are competing for the votes of Northwest Territories residents. 

To get a better sense of who these candidates are, and what they stand for, CBC North sent each one (including those who were acclaimed) a questionnaire.

We asked them to tell us about themselves, why they decided to run, and the experience they would bring to elected office. 

We also asked them about the big issues facing the N.W.T., and about what they would do to address climate change, improve the economy, fix government operations and strengthen relationships with Indigenous governments.

Candidates were also asked if they would seek a cabinet post, or the job of premier.
