Parliament of Antigua and Barbuda

The Parliament of Antigua and Barbuda operates from a building located on Queen Elizabeth Highway, housing both the Senate and House of Representatives.

The Parliament evolved from the Legislative Council of Antigua, which first gathered on April 23, 1668, and received its current designation on February 27, 1967.

The Parliament maintains constitutional ties with the British Crown, incorporating elements of Westminster democracy while serving the Caribbean nation's legislative needs.

The House of Representatives includes seventeen elected members serving five-year terms, one ex-officio member, and one Speaker who oversee national legislation.

Parliamentary members receive protection from legal proceedings regarding statements made during their service, ensuring unrestricted legislative discourse within the assembly.
