Vanuatu Members of Parliament

Unicameral national legislature, 52 members elected for four-year terms

Current and historical members of the Parliament of Vanuatu, the country's unicameral national legislature. Its 52 members are directly elected from multi- and single-member constituencies for four-year terms — though the composition changes frequently through motions of no confidence and by-elections — and hold the country's legislative power, including passing laws and approving the budget.

Coverage reaches back over the terms in which service still implies political exposure. Members who left partway through a term — by death, court sentence or electoral petition — are included, with a note on the circumstance where the source gives one. The ministerial, committee and presiding-officer roles the source lists beside each member are not captured.
