2012

In the National Assembly election system, a candidate is elected in the first round if he or she obtains an absolute majority of the vote in his or her constituency and the votes of at least one quarter of all registered voters in the constituency. If many voters abstain, an absolute majority of the vote may thus not be enough, although this rarely happens. In the 2012 election, this constituency provided a surprising example of this. Incumbent MP Serge Letchimy of the Martinican Progressive Party received 63.29% of the vote, but narrowly failed to be immediately elected due to a very low turnout (30.67%).[1]

gollark: Yes, the Quebecois apioforms really do eviscerate dragons nowadays. It's quite worrying.
gollark: We already know how they work.
gollark: Good ones.
gollark: I think in our infinite-dimensional spaces we just use hashmaps, or sometimes just infinite lists.
