Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs)

Steve Norn was elected in the 2019 territorial election, but in late 2021 became the first MLA to be removed from the Legislature by his colleagues. This event was a consequence of Norn's refusal to follow Covid-19 protocols, and subsequent actions on his part against his colleagues during the ensuing investigation. He had attempted to resign prior to this vote, but the Speaker rejected it. The seat remained vacant until by-election took place the following year.[3] Norn ran in the by-election but was defeated by Richard Edjericon.[4]
