In yesterday's territorial election in the Yukon, the result in the Vuntut Gwitchin riding was a tie, with both the Liberal and NDP candidates each receiving 78 votes. I've listed five options in the above poll, though not all of them apply in all jurisdictions. Have your say on which are valid options.
