The 1980 national polls represented a major transition in Jamaica's politics as the socialist government of Prime Minister Michael Manley was swept from power by the conservative Jamaica Labour Party, led by Edward Seaga. The parties were fiercely divided along ideological lines. The JLP won 51 of the 60 parliamentary seats. It was a devastating loss for Manley's People's National Party, which won the 1972 and 1976 elections in convincing fashion. The Election was held October 30, 1980. #Electio

Jamaica’s voter turnout since Independence (1962–2025): • In the 1960s–1980s, turnout was very high—often above 75–85%, peaking at 86% in 1980. • After the 1983 snap election (boycotted by the PNP, turnout ~55%), participation began a long decline. • From the 1990s onward, turnout steadily dropped, hovering between 50–65%. • Since 2016, turnout has fallen below 50%, reaching just 39.4% in 2025. The chart shows a dramatic shift: Jamaica went from one of the most engaged electorates in the Caribbe
