The 15 elected members were elected by two methods; ten were elected from single-member constituencies, with five elected on an at-large basis, with voters able to vote for up to five candidates at the national level.[2]

The four appointed members include one nominated by the Premier, one nominated by the Leader of the Opposition and two members appointed by the Governor.[3] In addition, the Attorney General and the Speaker are ex officio members.
