Nunavut election result not validated as ballot box held up in cargo by blizzard
- Elections Canada has not validated the Nunavut federal election result because a final ballot box is delayed in transit as of May 15, 2025.

- The delayed validation suggests the official election outcome in Nunavut may finalize by the end of this week once all votes are counted.
