Parliamentary elections were held in Nauru on 24 August 2019.[1] President Baron Waqa lost his seat in Boe Constituency, making him ineligible for a third term.[2] Following the elections, Lionel Aingimea was elected President, winning a parliamentary vote 12–6 against David Adeang.[3]
The 19 members of Parliament were elected from eight multi-member constituencies using the Dowdall system, a version of ranked voting; voters rank candidates, with the votes counted as a fraction of one divided by the ranking number (e.g. a candidate ranked second will be scored as ½); the candidates with the highest total were elected.[4]
