General elections are scheduled to be held in Vanuatu on 19 March 2020.[1]
Electoral system[edit]
The 52 members of Parliament are elected from eight single-member constituencies and ten multi-member constituencies (of between two and seven seats) by single non-transferable vote.[2]
Campaign[edit]
The Vanua'aku Pati launched its campaign slogan 'Lets Rebuild Vanuatu' in June 2019 and endorsed the continuation of its Kambak ("come back") policy.[3]
In October 2019, a 'Vot Woman' campaign was launched, supporting all female candidates and calling for guaranteed 50% representation for women in parliament.[4] No women were elected in the 2012 or 2016 elections. There are around 15 female candidates.[5]
