Under the FSGA, the DGG will deliver local services to all residents of Deline as the Charter Community of Deline is currently doing. Residents of Deline who currently meet eligibility requirements for existing territorial or federal programs and services will continue to receive those programs and services from those governments after self-government. When the DGG is ready, it will be able to exercise its social jurisdictions for all residents of Deline. When that happens, discussions will take place among the governments to ensure a smooth transition.

All residents of Deline who are Canadian citizens and meet age and residency requirements may run for office in the DGG and may vote in DGG elections, though there will be some positions that will only be open to Deline First Nation Citizens to run for and vote on.
