General elections are scheduled to be held in the Turks and Caicos Islands on Friday, 7 February 2025 to elect members of Parliament. Significant constitutional changes will be in effect and will be the first general election in which nine at-large MPs will be elected.
Electoral system
The House of Assembly has 21 members, of whom 19 are elected members and two (the Attorney General and Speaker) are ex officio.
The 19 elected members elected are elected by two methods; ten are elected from single-member constituencies, with nine elected on an at-large basis, with voters able to vote for up to nine candidates at the national level.
Changes
Starting with these elections, the House of Assembly will be known as the Parliament of the Turks and Caicos Islands, alongside a term increase to a maximum of five years. The electoral system was also modified so that 19 instead of 15 members will be elected, with the four formerly appointed seats becoming at-large constituency seats. The constitutional amendments were unanimously adopted by the House of Assembly, and afterwards authorised by the government of the United Kingdom, in late 2024.
