General elections were held in the British Virgin Islands on 8 June 2015 to elect members to the House of Assembly.[1] The result was a landslide victory for the incumbent National Democratic Party (NDP) over the opposition Virgin Islands Party (VIP).[2][3] No minor parties or independent candidates won any seats. Unusually, every single incumbent candidate who stood in their original seat was victorious.[4]
The supervisor of elections was Juliette Penn. Prior to polling day, the VIP had complained to Governor John Duncan of alleged irregularities relating to the conduct advance polling day.[5] In a statement the supervisor of elections acknowledged irregularities, but indicated that they were of a minor and technical nature, and were swiftly rectified once noticed.[6] The report of the international Election Observer Mission noted that the election "was peaceful and vibrant and saw high levels of public engagement."[7]
