General elections were held in Anguilla on 29 June 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, an Order in Council was made to allow the elections to be postponed until 11 September at the latest. However it was not invoked.

Electoral system

The 13-member House of Assembly consists of seven members elected in single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting, four at-large members elected from the entire island by plurality at-large voting and two ex officio members. Voters may vote up to four candidates in the at-large seats, which replaced two appointees. Voters must be at least 18 years old, whilst candidates must be at least 21.
