General elections were held in Vanuatu on 2 November 1983, the first since independence from France and the United Kingdom (which had governed it as a Condominium) in 1980. The ruling Vanua'aku Pati won 24 seats, while the Union of Moderate Parties won 12. Walter Lini of the Vanua'aku Pati remained Prime Minister.[1] Voter turnout was 74.9%.[2]
Most members were elected through single non-transferable voting in multi-seat districts having two to five members each. One member (the member for Epi) was elected through first past the post.
