Electoral system

The right to vote was granted to all citizens over the age of 21 who could write their name, paid income tax on an annual income of SR 3,000 or more, and could prove that they had lived in the Seychelles for at least a year.[1] Only around 10% of the population were able to register.[1]

Results

All the seats were won by independents and members of the Seychelles Taxpayers and Producers Association, who primarily represented the interests of large landowners.[1]

gollark: I've been eyeing it as a possible part for a hypothetical new osmarks.tk server, to replace my old (Nehalem or something) HP tower.
gollark: Or a 1700 for the same price, but it would be worse for gaming.
gollark: Also, they just announced that Ryzen 3000 is to be released on July 7th. Not next month. It's, what, 6 weeks?
