General elections are scheduled to be held in Papua New Guinea from 11 to 24 June 2022 to elect the members of the National Parliament.[1]
Electoral system
The 118 members of the National Parliament are elected from single-member constituencies by instant-runoff voting; voters are given up to three preferences, with a candidate declared elected once they received over 50% of preference votes.[2] Of the 118 members, 96 are elected from "open" seats and 22 from provincial seats based on the twenty provinces, the Autonomous Region of Bougainville and the National Capital District (Port Moresby).[3]
