General elections were held in Tokelau on 26 January 2023.[1]

Background

edit

The previous elections were held in 2020.[2]

Electoral system

edit

The General Fono consists of a Faipule (representative) and a Pulenuku (village mayor) elected in each of the three villages (Atafu, Fakaofo and Nukunonu). Each village also elects one delegate for every 100 residents.[3] In total six MPs were elected from Nukunonu, and seven each from Atafu and Fakaofo.[4] Voting uses a majoritarian system in which a candidate needs to obtain over 50% of the vote.[5] If there are multiple delegates elected in a village, majority-at-large voting is used.[citation needed] Unlike previous elections, which saw Nukunonu use a different polling method from the other atolls, this was the first election where all three atolls used the same system.[4]
