Electoral system

edit

The 19 members of Parliament were elected from eight multi-member constituencies using the Dowdall system, a version of ranked voting; voters rank candidates, with the votes counted as a fraction of one divided by the ranking number (e.g. a candidate ranked second will be scored as ½); the candidates with the highest total were elected.[4]

Conduct

edit

Speaker Cyril Buraman issued a notice in the Republic of Nauru Government Gazette on 15 July 2019 announcing the date of the general election was 24 August.[5] The 2019 general election was observed by two international organizations: the Pacific Islands Forum and the Commonwealth Secretariat.[6]

Results

edit

Out of 7,508 registered voters, 7,167 cast a vote, resulting in a turnout of 95.46%. 7,037 votes were valid and the remaining 130 either blank or invalid.[7]

Presidential election

edit

Following the elections, the newly elected MPs elected the president, who was required by the constitution be a member of parliament.[9] Incumbent president Baron Waqa lost his seat in parliament, which meant he was ineligible.[10] Lionel Aingimea defeated David Adeang of Nauru First by twelve votes to six.[3]
