The Legislative Assembly of Nunavut is chosen through a democratic process where members are elected by the people of the territory.1

A key feature of this system is that all members of the assembly are elected as independents, as there is no system of political parties in the territory. Once elected, the members of the assembly select a speaker, a premier, and a cabinet from among themselves to form the government. This administration operates from the capital city of Iqaluit.1
