General Elections in Anguilla are held every five years, giving the electorate the opportunity to choose their representatives in the House of Assembly. These elections form the cornerstone of Anguilla’s democratic system, ensuring that the Assembly reflects the will of the people. Through this process, voters elect Members who represent their interests, debate legislation, and hold the Government accountable. The outcome of each General Election determines the composition of the Assembly for the following five-year parliamentary term.
The most recent General Election, held on February 26, 2025, returned eleven elected Members to serve in the House of Assembly for the 2025–2030 term. Of these, eight Members form the Government and three serve as the Opposition, making a total of eleven elected Members. In addition to these, the House of Assembly includes the Speaker and two ex officio members: the Attorney General and the Deputy Governor.
Within the Assembly, Government Members support the administration and advance its legislative agenda, while Opposition Members provide scrutiny, propose alternative viewpoints, and hold the Government accountable to the people of Anguilla. This balance ensures robust democratic debate and promotes representation of diverse perspectives in the decision-making process.
