It is the mechanism by which a democracy fills elective offices in the legislature, and sometimes the executive and judiciary, and in which electorates choose local government officials.
The Cayman Islands elect on territorial level a legislature. The Legislative Assembly has 18 members, 15 elected members for a four year term in two-seat constituencies and 3 members ex-officio. In the last elections, 8 November 2000, with a turnout of 80% only non-partisans were elected. After the election members of parliament formed the United Democratic Party. The Cayman Islands had a no-party system, but it evolves into a multi-party system.
In districts that return multiple members, Cayman uses the bloc voting system, for single member districts, it uses the first past the post system.
