## EXPLANATORY NOTE 

## (This note is not part of the Order) 

Richard Tilbrook Clerk of the Privy Council 

This Order allows for the postponement of the next general election in Anguilla that would otherwise have been required within two months of the dissolution of the Assembly by the operation of section 64 of the Constitution of Anguilla. 

The Governor is required to appoint a date for the first general election following commencement of this Order which must be no later than four months after the dissolution of the Assembly. The Governor is further given the power to recall the dissolved Assembly in case of emergency. 

These measures have been taken in light of the exceptional public health situation created by the effects of a Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.
