2010 Norfolk Island legislative election

The 2010 Norfolk Island legislative election was held on 17 March 2010 to elect the 13th Norfolk Island Legislative Assembly, the prime legislative body of Norfolk Island.

Following the elections, David Buffett replaced Andre Nobbs as Chief Minister on 24 March, having returned to the Assembly after losing his seat at the previous election in 2007.

Background
Nine members are elected to the Assembly for a three-year term. Electors each have nine equal votes, which could be divided in any way between candidates, but no more than two votes could be given to any particular individual candidate. This variation of cumulative voting is called "weighted first past the post".

The Norfolk Island Labor Party and Norfolk Liberals both contested the election. Labor, led by Mike King, ran four candidates, while incumbent MLA Ian Anderson led the Liberals.

Results
965 votes (83.05%) were cast in-person inside Rawson Hall, with an additional 105 absentee votes (9.04%). Counting was completed the following day on 18 March.
