Since the restoration of democracy in the British Virgin Islands in 1950, only a comparatively small number of persons have been elected to political office. Although elections are held approximately every three or four years, the small size of the legislative body[1] and the tendency to return incumbent politicians[2] has resulted in a relatively small aggregate number.
Prior to the 1967 general election legislators were elected on a non-party basis. However, many persons who were elected in those early elections later went on to form, or stand for, political parties.[3]
In addition to politicians who were elected by popular mandate, various other political positions are filled by appointment. These include:
The Governor of the British Virgin Islands (John Rankin since 29 January 2021)
The Attorney General of the British Virgin Islands (Dawn Smith since 1 October 2020)
The Speaker of the House of Assembly of the British Virgin Islands (Corine George-Massicote since 26 May 2022)
Prior to 1967, certain members of the Legislative Council (as the House of Assembly was formerly named) were appointed rather than elected.
^In the first general election in 1950 only four members were elected; this was steadily increased until in 1995 it grew to 13, which is the size it is presently.
^For example, Lavity Stoutt won the 1st District in 11 consecutive elections. Ralph O'Neal won the 7th/9th District in 10 consecutive elections. The 3rd District has been won by Julian Fraser, his brother Earl, or his cousin Oliver Cills, every year since 1971. In five consecutive elections from 1979 to 1995 just under half the legislature was ever-present: Stoutt, O'Neal, Omar Hodge and Oliver Cills.
