The 2024 United States House of Representatives election in the United States Virgin Islands was held on November 5, 2024,[9] to elect a non-voting Delegate to the United States House of Representatives from the United States Virgin Islands' at-large congressional district. The election coincided with the larger 2024 United States House of Representatives elections and the legislative election in the United States Virgin Islands.
The U.S. Virgin Islands' non-voting delegate is elected for a two-year term in office. Incumbent delegate Stacey Plaskett, a Democrat who was first elected in 2014, and most recently re-elected with 98.7% of the vote in 2022, ran for a sixth term. Plaskett's challenger, Ronald Pickard, is the first Republican to run for this seat since 2014. She won 73% of the vote defeating her opponents.[10]
A 2020 referendum was approved by voters calling for the Legislature to enact legislation to convene a constitutional convention. A bill on the calling of the sixth constitutional convention was approved on 29 December 2022. Currently, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands are the only United States territories without a constitution.
