Dominica has twenty-one, single member constituencies which elect representatives to the House of Assembly of Dominica. These elections occur using the simple-majority (or first-past-the-post) system and representatives typically serve for a term of five years.[1] These constituencies are delineated by the Electoral Boundaries Commission under Chapter 3, Part V of the Constitution of Dominica, and must be reassessed every two to five years.[2]
