Any voter or local authority may question the validity of an election or the eligibility of a candidate to sit on the local authority by petitioning to the Supreme Court of the Northwest Territories, on any of the following grounds: The election is invalid due to major election offences committed at the election; A member of the local authority was not eligible to be a candidate on the day of the election; A member was elected in violation of the Local Authorities Elections Act; A member has become disqualified from serving on the council; or A person was appointed when not eligible to be a candidate. The petitioner has two months from Election Day to petition the court, except if challenging the qualification of a member to remain on the local authority, which can be done at any time during the member's term of office.
