⭐ Core Definition: 2014 Cook Islands general election

General elections were held in the Cook Islands on 9 July 2014, determining the membership of the 16th Cook Islands Parliament.

However, the result in one constituency the CIP had won was overturned in court, with the Democratic Party awarded the seat, while the tied seat was also awarded to the Democratic Party after one ballot was invalidated, resulting in a hung parliament.
