Parliamentary elections are scheduled to be held in Kiribati in 2020.
Electoral system
The 46 member of the House of Assembly are elected by three methods; 44 are elected in 23 single- and multi-member constituencies (seven with one seat, eleven with two seats and five with three seats)[1] using a modified two-round system. The other two members of the House consisted of one seat elected by the Rabi Council of Leaders,[2] and a Speaker elected after the elections from outside the House of Assembly.[3] Voters have as many votes to cast as the number of seats in their constituencies.
In single-member constituencies a candidate is elected in the first round if they receive more than 50% of the ballots cast. In two- or three-member constituencies, a candidate has to receive at least 25% of the vote to be elected in the first round.[1] Where not all seats are filled, a second round is held with the number of candidates being equal to the number of remaining seats plus two. A tie in the second round results in a third round of voting.[2]
