The 1999 Nunavut general election was the first general election in the territory and was held on February 15, 1999, to elect the members of the 1st Legislative Assembly of Nunavut.
Although Nunavut did not become a territory until April 1, 1999, the election was held early to enable the members to assume their duties on that date.
The territory operates on a consensus government system with no political parties; the premier is subsequently chosen by and from the MLAs.
Paul Okalik was chosen to be Premier of Nunavut.
