On October 19, citizens across Canada will head to the polls, voting for the candidate they feel best represents them in the federal election.

In Yellowknife, citizens will also vote on representation of a different kind. 

Three candidates in Yellowknife's municipal election — also scheduled for Oct. 19 — have pledged to use the IserveU platform if elected. The made-in-Yellowknife e-democracy platform that allows residents to directly vote on issues in the community has seen its share of fans and critics since it was announced earlier this year.

IserveU has also prompted plenty of questions from the public. Founder Paige Saunders spoke with Trailbreaker host Loren McGinnis this morning, and then joined the CBC North digital team online to answer your questions.
