That's up slightly from 2006 when 58 people put their names forward, but this time around there's one more riding which may account for the increase.

Both the Yukon Party and the Liberals have a full slate of candidates for the Oct. 11 election.The NDP has candidates in all but one riding,Vuntut Gwitchin.

Two new parties have entered the political fray this time around- the Green Party and the Yukon First Nations Party. Both have fielded two candidates.
