Abstract: We study fluctuations in the number of points of $ell$-cyclic covers of the projective line over the finite field $mathbb{F}_q$ when $qequiv1modell$ is fixed and the genus tends to infinity. The distribution is given as a sum of $q+1$ i.i.d. random variables. This was settled for hyperelliptic curves by Kurlberg and Rudnick, while statistics were obtained for certain components of the moduli space of $ell$-cyclic covers by Bucur, David, Feigon and Lal'{i}n. In this paper, we obtain statistics for the distribution of the number of points as the covers vary over the full moduli space of $ell$-cyclic covers of genus $g$. This is achieved by relating $ell$-covers to cyclic function field extensions, and counting such extensions with prescribed ramification and splitting conditions at a finite number of primes.
