Vote Election Day October 3

Monday October 3 is Election Day in the NWT.

Below is information on when, where and how to vote.

My Letter to Voters asks for your support and explains my priorities and vision for the next Assembly. My website www.electbobbromley.ca contains detailed information on my priorities, record and qualifications.

You're also invited to join me for refreshments and discussion at the Yellowknife Ski Club Friday September 30 from 4:30 to 6:30 PM and at the Smokehouse Cafe in Ndilo Saturday from 4 to 6 PM.

Last election, 80 per cent of Weledeh voters cast ballots, a higher proportion than any other Yellowknife riding. Let's show the NWT that Weledeh voters are not complacent, by getting our to exercise our democratic right to select our leaders.

Thank your for the privilege of representing you in the past Assembly and for the opportunity to continue working for you and with you.

Bob Bromley
Candidate, Weledeh

Voter Identification

In order to receive a ballot, an elector must prove their identity and place of residence.

Voters are strongly encouraged to arrive to the polls with proper identification.

The easiest way to prove one’s identity and place of residence is with one current piece of government-issue photo ID: either a driver’s license or general identification card.

Two pieces of identification from an approved list can be shown, but at least one piece must accurately describe the elector’s residential or mailing address.

Without proper identification, a ballot can still be cast, but the process will take more time and effort.

If an elector has no proof of identification, another eligible elector may vouch for them. In order to do so, both electors must take an oath. In addition, the other elector must have their own identification.

If you cannot meet the identification requirements, but know your returning officer by personal acquaintance, then you can vote in the Office of the Returning Officer without showing ID.

Absent Voters: Voting By Special Ballot
October 1 at 2 PM is the deadline to apply for a special ballot. All Special Ballots must be received by the Returning Office no later than 8 PM October 3 (Election Day). See the Elections NWT website for details on voting by special ballot.

Mobile Polls

Eligible electors in a hospital, elders’ care facility, or confined to their home may wish to vote by Special Mobile Poll.

Those who are unable to attend the poll by reason of a disability may apply to the Weledeh Returning Officer to vote by mobile poll. Call 669 7008 or email Weledeh_RO@gov.nt.ca

Applications are only accepted from September 19 until September 23.

MLA Bob Bromley Running in Weledeh Riding


Weledeh MLA Bob Bromley is seeking re-election to his seat in the NWT Legislative Assembly.

I’m asking Weledeh voters to return me to the Assembly so I can carry forward the work of my first term,” MLA Bromley says.

My vision remains the same. We need a unified approach to promoting sustainable, local economies, to protecting the environment, and to meeting our people’s social and cultural needs,” MLA Bromley says.

Much has been achieved since 2007 and I feel I have earned the respect and cooperation of my fellow MLAs. My first term experience has taught me the lessons of putting priorities into action.”

MLA Bromley says, “the concerns that motivated me to run in 2007 continue to demand important attention, underscored by the lingering economic uncertainties of today. “

We need a plan for the long-term stability of the Weledeh and NWT economies, safe from boom and bust. Action on climate change and improved environmental stewardship are critical. We need comprehensive action to realize the NWT’s incredible potential for a vibrant and strong social fabric. These issues are intimately connected, and addressing them must be based on financially responsible action.”

I built support among my colleagues for a comprehensive approach to government action, and I want to now put that support to best use with ongoing emphasis on prevention and meaningful solutions. “

The work of the 16th Assembly is not over yet, and I'll be working hard in the final, August session on the priorities still before us—the Wildlife Act, Heritage Fund Act, Motor Vehicles Act, Cost of Credit Disclosure Act, and our fiscal situation.”

Details of MLA Bromley’s campaign platform will be announced at the official launch of his campaign in late August.
