Electoral system
The 35 members of the House of Assembly were elected from 23 constituencies (with each island forming a constituency) using the two-round system; if no candidate received a majority of the vote in the first round, a second round was held within seven days.[2]
Campaign
All candidates for the 35 seats ran as independents. In two constituencies (Beru and Arorae) the candidates were unopposed, so no election was held.
