General elections were held in Tokelau on 23 January 2020.[1][2]
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] All elections in Atafu and Fakaofo took place under a two-round system, where if no candidate obtains over 50% of the vote, the top two move on to a runoff election to decide the winner. If there were multiple delegates elected in a village, majority-at-large voting was used. Nukunonu elections took place under traditional rules, where election arrangements were managed and conducted autonomously according to each village Taupulega.
