The 2024 United States Virgin Islands general election will take place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, to elect the non-voting delegate to the United States House of Representatives, all 15 seats in the Legislature of the Virgin Islands, members of the Virgin Islands Board of Education and the 15 delegates to the Sixth Constitutional Convention.[1]
The U.S. Virgin Island's non-voting delegate is elected for a two-year term in office. Incumbent delegate Stacey Plaskett, a Democrat who was first elected in 2014, and most recently re-elected with 98.7% of the vote in 2022, to a sixth term.
Incumbent Stacey Plaskett is expected to win reelection to a seven term. She is running unopposed in the Democratic primary and her district has been consistent when selecting the Delegate to Congress over the last 27 years. Her two challengers in the general election are Republican Ronald Pickard from St. Croix, who has faced a resurgence of criminal allegations against him and Independent candidate Ida Smith and St. John resident, who would need support from Democratic voters.
A 2020 referendum was approved by voters calling for the Legislature to enact legislation to convene a constitutional convention. A bill on the calling of the sixth constitutional convention was approved on 29 December 2022. Currently, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam are the only United States territories without a constitution.
