The polls are now officially closed around the NWT, except in Dettah, where a delay in opening this morning meant an extension until 8:26 p.m. this evening.

As voters were leaving the Multiplex during the day, SA国际影视传媒 spoke to some to get their thoughts and what made them cast a ballot.

Housing, which is always in issue in every election, emerged as a major concern among the majority of voters.

Another voter, Kevin Heney, pointed out that the housing problem wasnSA国际影视传媒檛 confined to a specific sector but was pervasive at all levels.

Heney, who found the housing situation SA国际影视传媒渉ardSA国际影视传媒 when he first moved to the city, suggested the need for more market housing. He recalled reaching out to multiple rental companies, but to no avail.

Some voters also compared programs around the country with those in the NWT.

Health care was another area where voters hoped to see changes.

Ilona Legler shared her experience of waiting almost three years for major surgeries like knee surgeries. She expressed concern that such long waiting times could exacerbate health conditions.

The high cost of living was also a common concern among voters.

Tasia Walsh highlighted the issue of food security, recounting her recent grocery store trip of $317 on just four bags of groceries.
