Elections
The Council would exist through four general elections. The first election held on October 18, 1900 elected two members at large. The council would divide the territory into districts for the second general election held on January 13, 1903. Two more general elections would follow before the council was entirely dissolved. Appointed members during this period did not have to be reappointed, only seats to elected members were dissolved. The elections were called by the Yukon Commissioner, while electoral district boundaries were controlled by an act of legislation from the council.

Famous quotes containing the word elections:
“Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“In my public statements I have earnestly urged that there rested upon government many responsibilities which affect the moral and spiritual welfare of our people. The participation of women in elections has produced a keener realization of the importance of these questions and has contributed to higher national ideals. Moreover, it is through them that our national ideals are ingrained in our children.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
