The '''Yukon Legislative Assembly''' ({{langx|fr|Assemblée législative du Yukon}}) is the [[legislative assembly]] for [[Yukon]], Canada. Unique among Canada's [[Provinces and territories of Canada|three territories]], the Yukon Legislative Assembly is the only territorial legislature which is organized along [[political party]] lines. In contrast, in [[Nunavut]] and the [[Northwest Territories]], their legislative assemblies are elected on a [[Non-partisan democracy|non-partisan]] basis and operate on a [[consensus government]] model.

Each member represents one [[List of Yukon territorial electoral districts|electoral district]], elected through [[first-past-the-post voting]]. Members of the Legislative Assembly are [[Oath of office|sworn in]] by the [[commissioner of Yukon]].

==History==
From 1900 to 1978, the elected legislative body in Yukon was the [[Yukon Territorial Council]], a body which did not act as the primary government, but was a non-partisan advisory body to the [[commissioner of the Yukon]]. Following the passage of the '''Yukon Elections Act''' in 1977, the Territorial Council was replaced by the current Legislative Assembly, which was elected for the first time in the [[1978 Yukon general election]].
