The Union Flag is used on Ascension Island for official purposes.

There is currently no unique flag for Ascension Island,^[1] a dependency of the British overseas territory of Saint Helena, therefore the Union Flag of the United Kingdom is used for official purposes.^[2]

At its meeting on 3 March 2009, the Ascension Island Council discussed this issue and agreed to develop a unique flag for the island in consultation with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Members also suggested that a public competition could be held to determine the design of the new flag.^[3]
