Mauritius's National Assembly, a single-chamber body with 70 members, is elected for five-year terms. 62 members are directly elected by voters, while the remaining eight seats are filled by the "best losers"—those who received the highest number of votes without winning a direct seat.
Mauritius's legislative election is scheduled for November 10, according to an announcement from the country's Office of the President on Friday.
"In pursuance of the powers vested in him under Section 41(1) of the Representation of the People Act and acting in accordance with the advice of the Honorable Prime Minister, His Excellency Mr. Prithvirajsing Roopun, President of the Republic, has, today, issued writs of election, fixing the 22nd day of October 2024 as the Nomination Day, and the 10th day of November 2024 as the Polling Day where it becomes necessary," the presidential office reported.
The National Assembly
was also dissolved, effective as of Friday, the Mauritian president's office announced.
