REPUBLIC OF KIRIBATI LEGISLATIVE ELECTION OF 2015-16 =================================================================== Elections to the National Assembly Source: Stories from Kiribati VOTING BY CONSTITUENCY =================================================================== The first round was on 30 December 2015, the second round was on 7 January 2016. Voters may vote for as many candidates as there are seats to be filled for their electorate. Tables show the number of votes cast, not the number of voters who cast them. A candidate who polls an absolute majority on the first round is elected. Otherwise, the candidates with the highest votes contest the second round. The number of candidates who contest the second round is always two more than the number of seats to be filled. For example: in Abaiang, the number of votes cast in the first round was 4,748, representing at most 1,582 voters (since each voter could cast up to three votes). Tenaua was elected on the first, since his 1,129 votes was an absolute majority of 1,582. Since there were two places still to be filled, the four remaining candidates with the highest votes contested the second round.
