The results from Nunavut's historic referendum on whether municipal lands can be bought and sold are trickling in.

A Yes vote means that hamlet and city councils will be able to sell municipal lots to individuals or companies. A No vote will mean continuing to lease them for a fee.

Voters in each hamlet decided for their own community.

Results from each community will be added to this page as they are made available.
