A General election was held in Antigua and Barbuda on 21 March 2018.[3] The ruling Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party was returned to power with an increased majority.
Electoral system edit
The 17 elected members of the House of Representatives are elected in single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting.[4]
Campaign edit
A total of 53 candidates contested the elections, representing seven parties. The Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party nominated a full slate of 17 candidates. The United Progressive Party (16) and Democratic National Alliance (13) were the only two other parties to contest more than half the seats.
