Must be held by Wednesday, 18 December 2030
Parliament first sat on 18 September 2025. Unless dissolved sooner, it stands dissolved five years later, on 18 September 2030, and the election must follow within three months (Constitution of Jamaica, sections 64 and 65). The Prime Minister can advise the Governor-General to dissolve Parliament and call the election at any time before then, so it may come much sooner. The fifth anniversary of the last general election (3 September 2025) is 3 September 2030.
