General elections are scheduled to be held in Dominica by December 2027. [1]

These will be the first elections held in Dominica since several election reform bills passed the House of Assembly in March 2025, sparking violent protests across the country. [2]

Electoral system

The 21 elected members of the House of Assembly are elected in single-member constituencies under first-past-the-post voting. A further nine members are either elected by the Assembly after it convenes or appointed by the President (five on the advice of the prime minister and four on the advice of the Leader of the Opposition) to be Senators; from there the President is chosen by the Assembly and the President appoints a Prime Minister. [3]
