Iqaluit municipal election saw high youth voter turnout

On Monday, nearly 1,700 Iqaluit residents turned out to elect a new mayor and council, so many in fact that election officials, who had planned for only 1,100 voters, had to print more ballots.

Iqaluit's chief returning officer Tania Scott says voters were not only out in larger numbers than usual, they were also younger.
