The Legislative Assembly

See also: Legislature (MLAs)

Currently the 15 elected members of the Assembly represent the Islands' six districts, four each from George Town and West Bay, three from Bodden Town, two from Cayman Brac and Little Cayman, and one each from North Side and East End.

The Governor must dissolve the Assembly four years after its first meeting, unless it has been dissolved sooner, and a general election must be held within two months of dissolution.

Under the new Constitution (6 November 2009) the Legislative Assembly will be expanded to 18 members. An Electoral Boundary Commission will be appointed to change district boundaries to allow for the new members. These changes should be in place before elections scheduled for 2013.
