2012 Northern Mariana Islands general election

The 2012 Northern Mariana Islands general election were held on Tuesday, 6 November, 2012. The election coincided with the 2012 United States general elections. Voters in the Northern Mariana Islands voted for the non-voting delegate to the United States House of Representatives, 3 seats in the Northern Mariana Islands Senate, all twenty seats in the Northern Mariana Islands House of Representatives, 4 mayors, seats for the municipal council, seats for the board of education, and 2 judges. Additionally, three referendums were held.

Delegate to the US House of Representatives
Incumbent Delegate Gregorio Kilili Camacho Sablan, an independent who caucuses with the Democratic Party, ran against Republican Candidate Ignacia Tudela Demapan for re-election. Gregorio Sablan, first elected in 2008, had held the seat since its creation in 2009. When Sablan announced his campaign, he drew a crowd including members of the three political parties as well as independents. The politically diverse crowd showed their support to Sablan, displaying unity behind a single candidate. Delegate Gregorio Sablan was re-elected by a massive 60-point spread, with nearly four-fifths of the vote, the largest margin of victory in the history of the Northern Mariana Islands. The Northern Mariana Islands' non-voting delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives was elected for a two-year term. It would be the first time that the election for the CNMI Delegate would be held during the CNMI general elections rather than on its own.
