According to the Web site, for federal elections,

• Yukon people vote for a single member of parliament to serve in the House of Commons.
• The entire Yukon is one riding.
• There is no set date for federal elections.
• There must be an election at least every five years.
• Canadian citizens who are 18 years of age or older are eligible to vote.
• Before each federal election, the Elections Canada office lets everyone know how to vote, where to vote, and when to vote.

For territorial elections,

• To vote, you must have lived in the Yukon for at least 12 months before the election is held.
• There is no set date for a territorial election, although elections usually take place every four years.
• When an election is called, officials from Elections Yukon go door-to-door to get the names of all of the people who will vote. Your name must be on the list of electors before polling day if you want to vote.

The Web site stresses that the one important difference is that you must have lived in the Yukon for 12 months before the election is held.
