Шаблон:Politics of the Pitcairn Islands

General elections were held in the Pitcairn Islands on 11 December 2009.[1] As there are no political parties on Pitcairn, the Deputy Mayor and all four candidates elected to the Island Council were independents.[2] Simon Young became the first person not born on Pitcairn to be elected Deputy Mayor.[3]

Electoral system

The four elected members were elected by single transferable vote for two year terms. In addition, the Island Council had six other members; the Mayor and the Deputy Mayor, both of whom were elected separately. The four elected members and the Deputy Mayor nominated a further member, whilst two were appointed by the Governor and one seat was reserved for a Commissioner liaising between the Governor and the Island Council.[2]

Results

Voting began at 08:30 and was completed by 10:30. Of the 45 registered voters, 40 cast votes,[1] giving a turnout of 88.9%.
