REPUBLIC OF MAURITIUS LEGISLATIVE ELECTION OF 11 SEPTEMBER 2000 =================================================================== Elections to the National Assembly Source: maurinet.com website, Mauritius National Assembly website Parties ------------------------------------------------------------------- * MR - Mouvement Rodriguais (Movement of the Rodriguais) * MSM-MMM - Mouvement Socialiste Militant - Mouvement Militant Mauricien (Militant Socialist Movement - Mauritian Militant Movement) * PMXD - Parti Mauricien Xavier-Luc Duval (Mauritian Party of Xavier-Luc Duval) * OPR - Organisation du Peuple Rodriguais (Orgianisation of the People of Rodrigues Island) The National Assembly consists of 70 members. Of these, 60 are elected from 20 three-member seats on a "block" or non- proportional basis. Two are elected from a two-member seat representing the island of Rodrigues. The remaining eight are allocated to the eight "best losers" (highest-polling unsuccessful candidates) in the multi-member seats. NATIONAL SUMMARY OF SEATS =================================================================== Party Seats ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mouvement Rodriguais 2 Mouvement Socialiste Militant - Mouvement Militant Mauricien 58 Parti Mauricien Xavier-Luc Duval 8 Organisation du Peuple Rodriguais 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 70 ------------------------------------------------------------------- No national voting figures can be given because the number of voters voting in each constituency is unknown, and also because of several errors in the figures given at the maurinet.com website. VOTING BY CONSTITUENCY =================================================================== Each constituency elects three members, except that for Rodrigues Island, which elects two. Each voter could cast up to three votes. In each constituency the total number of votes cast is shown, but the number of voters casting them is not known. Two percentages are given for each constituency. %1 is the percentage of all votes cast. %2 is the percentage of voters. The %2 figures come from the maurinet.com website. There appear to be several errors in them but I have no means of correcting them. CONSTITUENCY 1: PORT-LOUIS WEST =================================================================== Candidate Party Votes %1 %2 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Jean-Claude BARBIER MSM-MMM 15,012 20.1 55.4 Dr James B DAVID * PMXD 12,764 17.1 47.1 Jean-Claude ARMANCE MSM-MMM 13,984 18.7 51.6 Jean Désiré P Etienne PMXD 8,901 11.9 32.9 J David Gracieuse PMXD 8,706 11.6 32.1 Marie Ariane NAVARRE-MARIE MSM-MMM 15,485 20.7 53.8 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Total votes cast 74,852 ------------------------------------------------------------------- * David was elected under the "best losers" provision.
