The election was held to elect members to new districts to cope with the rapid growth of settlers in the territories at the time.

The election would see 11 members acclaimed and elected to various electoral districts to the 1st Council of the North-West Territories. The election was not considered a general election, since it did not involve every electoral district, and was not caused by the dissolution of the council. It was also held in the wake of the North-West Rebellion of spring, 1885. The election would be followed by the 1st North-West Territories general election in 1888 at the completion of the 3-year term. The election conducted without political parties.
