Maxwell Harvey, Chief Electoral Officer said in a statement, “In the general election of 2018, only 68% of the school council positions were filled and half the schools did not have full councils. This school council election provides an opportunity for Yukoners to get involved in the education of youth. Elections Yukon is expecting a busy few days of nominations.”
