General elections are scheduled to be held in Montserrat on 24 October 2024.[1]

Electoral system

The Legislative Assembly has eleven members, of which nine are elected. The other two seats are taken by the attorney general and the financial secretary.[2] The island is a single nine-member constituency, with voters able to vote for up to nine candidates on their ballot paper under plurality-at-large voting.[2]

Candidates must receive at least 6% of the vote to be elected. If fewer than nine candidates receive more than 6% of the vote, a second round is held within 21 days.[3]
