Due to the Northwest Territories wildfire evacuations in August, territorial chief election officer Stephen Dunbar had proposed delaying the election one month to November, due to the possibility that some residents of the territory may still be displaced from their homes during the currently scheduled campaign period.[3] Some cabinet ministers expressed support for his proposal, with the Assembly meeting on August 28 to debate rescheduling the election.[3] The election was officially delayed from the original October 3 date to November 14, six weeks later.[4]
On September 28, incumbent Premier Caroline Cochrane announced she would not seek re-election.[5]
