How we build this
Public numbers, reported the same way for every party.
Every figure links to its source: Elections NWT, the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories (20th Assembly), published polls and news reports. The poll average is a plain mean of polls whose fieldwork ended within 30 days of the newest poll, or the last three polls if fewer. We don't weight pollsters, project seats or endorse anyone.
