The next Jamaican general election is constitutionally due between 29 December 2016 (the day of the previous election in 2011) and 16 March 2017 (within three months of the date of the first sitting of the new Parliament on 17 January 2012). There is no fixed election date in effect in Jamaica at this time and so the exact election date is the prerogative of the Prime Minister.
