Nunavut is Canada's largest federal region. The entire territory - the total 1.8 million square kilometers (695,000 square miles) and its 40,000 people - will be represented by one person in the parliament.

Kathy Kettler, campaign manager for local freelance candidate Kilikvak Kabloona, told the BBC: “Nunavut is at least three times that of France.

Located in the Arctic, the average temperature in the capital iqaluit is below freezing point in eight months of the year, which is so huge and inaccessible that the only way to travel between its 25 communities is in the air.

"Yesterday, we drove 1,700 km (1,050 miles) by plane within 24 hours and drove in Pangnirtung, Iqaluit, Rankin Inlet and Arviat."

“Not many people understand the reality of the North,” Ms. Kettler said, describing the challenges of carrying out a campaign, in which it is very different from southern Canada.

She recalls knocking at the door earlier this month as she ran for the candidate in the -24C (-11f) temperature.

She said people rarely knock on doors in northern communities before entering someone’s home. Instead, tight culture allows visitors to simply “stroll in and say hello” – almost unthinkable in other parts of the country.

As INUK from northern Quebec, she said she felt "strange" even if she knocked on the door and waited for a response.

In Nunavut, one of Canada’s three northern territories, the majority of the population speaks inuktitut.

Ms. Kettler said one of the biggest expenses was to translate the campaign logo and hire an interpreter for candidate Kablona.

The election issues for northerners are also unique.

Ms. Kettler said: “The national movement is indeed focused on Arctic security and sovereignty, while our movement is focused on food security and people who can survive.”

Food can be very expensive and for many indigenous and northern communities, the infrastructure challenges of accessing clean water.

She said she was boiling and drinking water while running for the Arviat and described not being able to rely on calling voters to promote because the telephone plan was the first thing they sacrificed.

The seat is currently held by the New Democratic Party (NDP), and the current Lori Idlout is running for re-election.

James Arak is a conservative candidate.

Jean-Claude Nguyen, the return official of Nunavut, was responsible for the elections in the region.

He described the difficulties in ensuring votes and voter lists enter every community, including workers in remote gold mines.

“Canada (election) sent a team from its Ottawa headquarters through Edmonton and Yellowknife to the mine where they worked, giving them enough time to vote and then they brought the ballots back,” he said.

Mr Nguyen also spoke about safety considerations.

After the vote, the vote will be calculated at the polling station and then securely stored with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) or a small local village, or a small community that provides municipal services to residents.

Then fly the ballot box to iqaluit and then fly to Ottawa.

Mr Nguyen recalls a ballot box arrived with a big hole in the 2019 general election.

He smiled and said, "When we asked Charter Flight what happened, they said it was eaten by a crow."

“It’s part of the reality here, you have wild animals eating the ballot box.”

Birds did not harm the vote.

Kathy Kettler said that besides all the challenges, she likes the spirit of the people the most.

“The generosity, love and care of people shine in each community,” she said.

“That’s what keeps me going, and that’s what makes the whole Nunavut campaign.”
