General elections were held in Jamaica on Thursday, 3 September 2020[2] to elect 63 members of Parliament. As the constitution stipulates a five-year parliamentary term,[3] the next elections were not expected until between 25 February and 10 June 2021. However, Prime Minister Andrew Holness called early elections to ensure a united response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. On the advice of Holness, Governor General Patrick Allen dissolved Parliament on 13 August 2020.[4]
The result was a victory for the ruling Jamaica Labour Party, which received 57% of the vote[5] and won 48 seats. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2019–2020 dengue fever epidemic, voter turnout was only 37%,[6] the lowest in an election since 1983.
Background[edit source | edit]
Prior to the election, the Jamaica Labour Party, led by Prime Minister Andrew Holness, formed a majority government. The largest opposition party was the People's National Party, led by Peter Phillips. Either the Jamaica Labour Party or the People's National Party have been in power since universal suffrage was introduced in 1944.[7]
Electoral system[edit source | edit]
The 63 members of the House of Representatives are elected in single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting.[8] Voters must be 18 years and over and be a citizen of Jamaica or a Commonwealth citizen.[9]
The leader of the party commanding a majority of support in the House of Representatives is called on by the Governor General to form a government as Prime Minister,[10] while the leader of the largest group or coalition not in government becomes the Leader of the Opposition.[11]
Campaign[edit source | edit]
Only two parties registered to contest the election; the Jamaica Labour Party and the People's National Party. The JLP and PNP nominated candidates in all 63 constituencies. The two parties agreed to participate in three televised debates hosted by the Jamaica Debates Commission.[12]
The People's National Party campaigned for a referendum on removing Queen Elizabeth II as head of state.[13]
On 15 August 2020, the pastors of the Christian right Jamaica Progressive Party announced that the party would not contest the elections due to lack of time to prepare.[14]

Results[edit source | edit]
The ECJ reported that 97% of the polling stations had opened by 7:00 AM, and the remaining stations were open by 8:00 AM.[39] The polls closed at 5:00 PM.[40] Election observers included the EU delegation to Jamaica [41] and a domestic NGO, Citizens Action for Free and Fair Elections (CAFFE).[42]
Before 10:00 PM, preliminary results indicated that the JLP had won 44 seats; for the first time since 1967, the JLP was re-elected while contesting all seats.[43] PNP leader Phillips did not give a concession speech, but called Holness privately to offer congratulations.[44] Phillips resigned as PNP leader on 4 September 2020.[45] The full preliminary count indicated a total of 49 seats for the JLP.[46] A recount was later conducted in Westmoreland Eastern which resulted in a tie-breaker being required. The PNP won the tie-breaker, gaining one seat (bringing their total to 15), while the JLP lost one seat (bringing their total to 48).[37]
PM Holness was sworn in for a new term by Governor-General Sir Patrick Allen on 7 September 2020. The ceremony, which was held at King's House, was restricted to 32 people to comply with public health measures.[47]
