Electoral system

The General Fono consists of a faipule (representative) and a pulenuku (village mayor) elected in each of the three villages (Atafu, Fakaofo and Nukunonu). Each village also elects one delegate for every 100 residents. [3] In total six MPs were elected from Nukunonu, and seven each from Atafu and Fakaofo. [4] Voting uses a majoritarian system in which a candidate needs to obtain over 50% of the vote. [5] If there are multiple delegates elected in a village, majority-at-large voting is used.[ citation needed ] Unlike previous elections, which saw Nukunonu use a different polling method from the other atolls, this was the first election where all three atolls used the same system. [4]
