Only other time FI elections were postponed was 1976. 2025 is a rescheduling .
Originally, the current Legislative Assembly’s first sitting was on 8 Nov 2021. Under the constitution the Assembly must be dissolved by midnight on 7 Nov 2025, and an election held within 70 days (i.e., before 17 Jan 2026). 
• On 7 Aug 2025 the Executive Council announced an early dissolution and set the election day for Thursday 11 December 2025. 
• The new timetable therefore shifts the election into December.
