General elections were held in the Cook Islands on 17 November 2010[1] in order to elect 24 MPs to the Cook Islands Parliament. The elections were won by the Cook Islands Party, which won 16 of the 24 seats.[2] Voter turnout was 78%.[3]
A binding referendum on whether the number of MPs should be reduced from 24 was held at the same time as the election.[4]
Parliament will sit for the first time following the election in February 2011.[5]
