5 November 1996 (second round)

General elections were held in Palau in 1996 to elect a president, vice president, Senate and House of Delegates. The first round of the presidential election took place on 24 September, whilst the run-off election and the election for the House of Delegates and Senate took place on 5 November. All candidates ran as independents, with 36 candidates contesting the 14 Senate seats and 35 for the 16 House of Delegates seats. Incumbent Kuniwo Nakamura was re-elected President, whilst Thomas Remengesau Jr. was re-elected vice president. Voter turnout was 77% in the presidential elections on 24 September and 81% on 5 November.
