1909 Yukon general election

1909 Yukon general election
June 28, 1909
All 10 seats of the Yukon Territorial Council

The 1909 Yukon general election was held on 28 June 1909 to elect the ten members of the Yukon Territorial Council.[1] The council was non-partisan and had merely an advisory role to the federally appointed Commissioner. The 1909 election marked the first time that voters in the territory elected the entire council — in the four prior elections, the council was composed of five elected representatives and five representatives appointed by the Canadian federal government.[2]

The election was held using five two-member districts, where voters could cast two votes each.
