Village council elections were held in Niue on 27 August 2021 to elect members of the village councils of all fourteen villages. However, in only six villages were there more candidates than seats to fill, so all other candidates were elected unopposed.
Electoral system
Niue uses a multiple non-transferable vote system to elect members to the Village Council. Voters will select five candidates, and whichever five candidates receives the most votes, will be elected.
Background
The election date was announced on 3 August, with candidate nominations being accepted until 11 August. The village of Vaiea did not nominate any candidates, it was announced that a by-election would be scheduled following the conclusion of the elections.
