The Electoral Commission has received 304 nominations from 173 candidates for the 26 March General Election.
The period for submissions closed on Sunday.
As expected, the Labour Party and the Nationalist Party have fielded the largest number of nominations, with 122 and 108 respectively.
The election will also be contested by a number of small parties, including ADPD (20 nominations), ABBA (28 nominations), Volt Malta (4 nominations) and Partit Popolari (15 nominations). The Electoral Commission also received seven nominations from independent candidates.
The number of nominations does not reflect the actual number of candidates contesting, since several are contesting on more than one district.
In fact, the PN will be fielding a total of 69 candidates while Labour will field 70.
38 Nationalist candidates will be contesting on two districts. On Labour’s side, 53 will be contesting two districts.
The most heavily contested district will be the Eight and Tenth, with 28 candidates on their respective ballot sheets. The most lightly contested district will be the 13th – Gozo – with 17 candidates.
The number of candidates in the other districts are as follows: District 1 (24); District 2 (25); District 3 (26); District 4 (24); District 5 (19), District 6 (19); District 7 (24); District 9 (26); District 11 (21); District 12 (23).
Comparison with 2017 election
When compared to the 2017 general election, the PN has far fewer candidates this time round. In fact, in 2017, the PN had fielded a record 110 candidates. These had included, however, 11 from the Partit Demokratiku, which ran under the PN ticket.
The Labour Party had fielded 68 candidates in 2017, so its numbers remain similar in the upcoming election.
Overall, the Electoral Commission received fewer nominations this time. It had received 377 nominations for the 2017 election.
