Anguillia General lection
February 26
General elections were held in Anguilla on 26 February 2025. The election resulted in a victory for the opposition Anguilla United Front, with Cora Richardson-Hodge becoming Anguilla’s first female premier.
The 13-member House of Assembly consists of seven members elected in single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting, four at-large members elected from the entire island by plurality at-large voting and two ex officio members, the Attorney General and Deputy Governor. Voters may vote up to four candidates in the at-large seats. Voters had to be at least 18 years old, whilst candidates had to be at least 21.
A controversial proposal to revoke the voting rights of Anguillians living abroad sparked public backlash. Facing opposition, the plan was ultimately abandoned.
