2014 Murienua by-election

A by-election was held in the Cook Islands electorate of Murienua on 19 February 2014. The by-election was precipitated by the resignation of the winner of the 2013 Murienua by-election following allegations of election fraud.

Both candidates in the 2013 by-election indicated that they would run again. A "stand-in" candidate for the Cook Islands Party, Tare Mareiti, subsequently withdrew. The election was won by the Democratic Party's James Beer.
