 On June 14, 2018, Joe Savikataaq was elected as the Premier of Nunavut, after his predecessor Paul Quassa lost a non-confidence motion.Former Premier Paul Okalik set up an advisory council of eleven elders, whose function it is to help incorporate ""Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit"" (Inuit culture and traditional knowledge, often referred to in English as "IQ") into the territory's political and governmental decisions.Due to the territory's small population, and the fact that there are only a few hundred voters in each electoral district, the possibility of two election candidates finishing in an exact tie is significantly higher than in any Canadian province.
