# 2025 Yukon general election

The 2025 Yukon general election will be held on or before November 3, 2025, to elect members to the 36th Yukon Legislative Assembly. Under amendments to the territorial Elections Act passed in 2020, the first fixed election date following the 2021 Yukon general election is set as November 3, 2025. All subsequent elections will take place on the first Monday in November of the fourth calendar year following the previous election. The legislative assembly may be dissolved earlier by order of the Commissioner of Yukon due to a motion of no confidence in the current minority government or on the advice of the premier.
On September 9, 2022, Sandy Silver announced his intention to resign as premier and party leader, staying on until the party elects a successor. He was succeeded by Ranj Pillai in 2023.
Following the final report from the citizen's assembly on electoral reform, the territorial government announced on September 19, 2024, that a referendum on adopting a ranked voting system will be held simultaneously with the 2025 general election. The opposition Yukon Party reiterated its stance that changes to Yukon's electoral system should have to go through a referendum, while expressing its preference for first-past-the-post.
In view of the population changes across the territory, the Yukon Electoral District Boundaries Commission was set up to redraw the constituencies to balance the discrepancy of the population each MLA represents. In their final report, a two-seat expansion of the size of the assembly (from 19) was recommended, with both new ridings located in Whitehorse. This was to reflect the city’s significantly greater population growth than the average of the territory in over a decade. The final proposal was approved by the MLAs in November 2024 and is taking effect in this election subsequently.
