Here's the final list of who's running in the N.W.T. election

Fifty-eight candidates have put their names forward for the 2019 N.W.T. election by Friday's 2 p.m. deadline.

The final number of candidates is two less than in 2015, when 60 candidates ran for election. Candidates had until 5 p.m. MT to withdraw their names from consideration, but none did so.

Three candidates — Hay River North MLA R.J. Simpson, Mackenzie Delta MLA Frederick Blake Jr., and Monfwi MLA and speaker of the past Legislative Assembly Jackson Lafferty — appear to have been acclaimed, with no challengers submitting nominations.

Lafferty was previously acclaimed in 2015; the only candidate to not have to run a campaign in that election.

A total of 22 women have stepped forward to run in 12 constituencies, more than in the 2015 and 2011 elections combined.
