{{Politics of the Falkland Islands}}

The '''Falkland Islands general election of 2021''' was held on Thursday 4 November 2021 to elect all eight members of the [[Legislative Assembly of the Falkland Islands|Legislative Assembly]] (five from the [[Stanley (constituency)|Stanley constituency]] and three from the [[Camp (constituency)|Camp constituency]]) through [[universal suffrage]] using [[Plurality-at-large voting|block voting]], with the [[Chief Executive of the Falkland Islands]] acting as [[returning officer]]. It was the fourth election since the new [[Constitution of the Falkland Islands|Constitution]] came into force replacing the [[Legislative Council of the Falkland Islands|Legislative Council]] (which had existed since 1845) with the Legislative Assembly.

==Timing and procedure==
Under the [[Constitution of the Falkland Islands|Constitution]] of the [[Falkland Islands]], the Legislative Assembly must be [[Dissolution of parliament|dissolved]] four years after the first meeting of the Legislative Assembly following the last election (unless the [[Executive Council of the Falkland Islands|Executive Council]] advises the [[Governor of the Falkland Islands|Governor]] to dissolve the Legislative Assembly sooner). An election must then take place within 70 days of the [[Dissolution of parliament|dissolution]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2008/2846/pdfs/uksi_20082846_en.pdf |title=Official text of the Falkland Islands Constitution Order 2008 |date=1 January 2009 |publisher=legislation.gov.uk |accessdate=2017-11-11|quote=33.—(1) A general election shall be held at such time after every dissolution of the Legislative Assembly as the Governor shall appoint by proclamation published in the Gazette; but the date so appointed shall not be more than 70 days after the date of dissolution... (2) The Governor shall dissolve the Legislative Assembly at the expiration of four years from the date when the Assembly first meets after any general election, unless it has been sooner dissolved.}}</ref>

As first meeting of the current Legislative Assembly took place on 13 November 2017,<ref name="mercopress-2017-results">{{cite news |title=Falkland Islands Elects New Legislative Assembly |url=http://en.mercopress.com/2017/11/10/falkland-islands-elects-new-legislative-assembly |newspaper=MercoPress |date=10 November 2017 |access-date=2017-11-11}}</ref> the Legislative Assembly must be dissolved by midnight on 12 November 2021 and an election must take place before 21 January 2022. However, on 25 August 2021, the Executive Council announced that an early general election would take place on 4 November 2021.<ref>{{cite web |title=Executive Council paper 155/21 |url=https://www.fig.gov.fk/assembly/executive-council/papers?task=download.send&id=3214&catid=498&m=0 |website=fig.gov.fk |publisher=Falkland Islands Government |access-date=29 August 2021}}</ref>
