The 2023 Yukon Liberal Party leadership election was held on January 8, 2023, in Whitehorse. The election was called as a result of the party leader and premier Sandy Silver's decision to announce his pending resignation on September 9, 2022.[1]
The deadline to submit a candidacy was January 7. The election was supposed to take place on January 28.[2]
Party members will be able to vote in person in Whitehorse, or by proxy. If there are several candidates, voting will be done by a ranked preferential ballot, which means there may be several rounds of voting before a winner is declared.[3]
The new leader will become the 10th premier of Yukon.[4]
