REPUBLIC OF MAURITIUS LEGISLATIVE ELECTION OF 3 JULY 2005 ================================================================== Elections to the National Assenmbly Source: Mauritius TV website The National Assembly consists of 62 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. After a general election, the Electoral Supervisory Commission may nominate up to a maximum of 8 additional members in accordance with section 5 of the First Schedule of the Constitution with a view to correct any imbalance in community representation in Parliament. This system of nominating members is commonly called the best loser system. PARTIES ================================================================== * Alliance MSM-MMM – Alliance Mouvement Socialiste Militant - Mouvement Militant Mauricien (Militant Socialist Movement - Mauritian Militant Movement) * APJ - L'Alliance Pour La Justice (Alliance for Justice) * Alliance Sociale – Social Alliance * Lalit – The Struggle * FSM - Front Solidarité Mauricienne (Mauritius Solidarity Front) * MR - Mouvement Rodriguais (Rodrigues Movement) * OPR - Organisation du Peuple Rodriguais (Organisation of the People of Rodrigues Island) * PPM - Parti Du Peuple Mauricien (Party of the Mauritian People) Because the National Assembly is elected from multi-member constituencies, in which each voter may cast up to three votes, it is not possible to give a conventional national total for the number of voters who supported each party. This table gives the total number of votes cast for candidates of each party, and divides these figures by three (or by two in Rodrigues) to give an approximation of the number of voters supporting each party. ESTIMATED NATIONAL SUMMARY OF VOTES ================================================================== Enrolled voters: 817,305 Voters casting votes: 666,178 81.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Party Votes / 3 % ------------------------------------------------------------------ Alliance MSM-MMM 829,460 276,487 42.6 Alliance Sociale 948,766 316,255 48.8 Organisation du Peuple Rodriguais 10,184 5,092 00.8 All others 156,538 52,179 08.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Total 1,944,948 648,316 ------------------------------------------------------------------ The total number of votes cast divided by three (648,316) is lower than the actual number people voting (666,178), because not all of them cast three votes.

VOTES CAST BY CONSTITUENCY ================================================================== The percentage figures come from the Mauritius TV website and I make no claims as to their accuracy.
