Candidates Receiving Less Than 1% of the Quota on the First Count
The list is ordered by year and shows the candidate's name, party, electoral District
and his or her quota share. "Quota Share" is the percentage of the District quota.
There were no cases of such low quota shares before 1947 nor any in 1955.
The lowest score was for Spiridione Sant who obtained zero votes in 1987 -- the
only candidate ever to do so. Among those who make repeated appearances on
this list, apart from Spiridione Sant, have been Adrian Mifsud (six times) and
Robert Sultana (five times).
There are also a number of dramatic changes: E.g., Alfred Sant appears here
with 0.452% of the quota in the First District in 1992. Yet in the same District
he obtained 271% of the quota in the immediately following election.
