Description
The election for the 15th Legislative Assembly was held in November 2003. The NWT's consensus style of government is such that all Members are elected as independent Members and are subjected to an orientation period prior to choosing a Premier and Cabinet Ministers to form the government. For the 15th Assembly, this orientation period lasted from December 4, 2003 to the opening of the first session on December 11, 2003 and included two days of administrative orientation, three days of procedural and socio-economic familiarization, a two-day Territorial Leadership Committee to elect the Speaker, Premier and Cabinet, a swearing in ceremony and a quick two-day session followed by prorogation. Both, the Speaker, David Krutko, and the Premier, Joe Handley, were acclaimed to their respective offices. In keeping with recent practice, the Leadership Committee elected two Cabinet Members from each of the northern, Yellowknife and southern constituencies. The secret ballot elections were settled on the first ballot for the northern and Yellowknife constituencies with a second ballot required for the south.
