2013 Falkland Islands general election

The Falkland Islands general election of 2013 was held on Thursday 7 November 2013 to elect all eight members of the Legislative Assembly through universal suffrage using block voting, with each Stanley constituent having up to 5 votes and each Camp constituent having up to 3 votes. A total of 1,046 ballots were cast in Stanley, representing a turn-out of 75.4%, and 242 ballots in Camp, representing a turn-out of 85.5%. As no political parties are active in the Falklands, all the candidates stood as Independents. The Chief Executive of the Falkland Islands, Keith Padgett, acted as returning officer. It was the second election since the new Constitution came into force replacing the Legislative Council with the Legislative Assembly.

Campaign
On 29 July 2013 the Executive Council announced that election day had been scheduled for 7 November. Eleven candidates stood in Stanley and five in Camp. Each candidate made a two-minute televised broadcast on the Falkland Islands Television Service to set out their manifestos. Hustings were held in late October and early November, with a north–south air-link and better facilities for tourism being the main issues debated. ==Results==
