The 39th Yukon general election will return members to the 35th Yukon Legislative Assembly. There is no fixed election date law in Yukon, so the maximum length that a legislature may sit is determined by Section 4 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms: "no legislative assembly shall continue for longer than five years from the date fixed for the return of the writs at a general election of its members".[1] The writs for the previous general election were returned November 14, 2016,[2] making an election probable for 2021.
