Talk:2019 Malagasy parliamentary election

Electoral system
Anyone have any idea how the 64 seats in the two-member constituencies are elected? The IPU claims it is by closed list proportional representation; the IFES states it is by single non-transferable vote, and EISA state it is by block voting. Cheers, Number   5  7  14:18, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Here's the current bill being debated in the malagasy parliament. According to page 5, all members will be elected through first past the post : http://www.primature.gov.mg/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/projet-de-loi-organique-relative-a-lelection-de-d%C3%A9put%C3%A9s-%C3%A0-lAN.pdf It hasn't been voted yet, though, so it may be subject to change.--Aréat (talk) 02:48, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've reverted your splitting of the article though, as I can't find any sources stating the parliamentary elections will be held separately (the ones you used in the article were the same as the ones on this one, which state 2018). The only think I could find was this, which was a suggestion that they may be postponed till 2019. Number   5  7  07:51, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The parliament is to vote for an organic law on parliamentary election, quoted above, on presidential ones, and lastly on elections and referendums as a whole with projet de Loi organique n° 05/2018 du 21 février 2018 relative au régime général des élections et des référendums. Its article 51 rule that no election of the president, lower house and higher house shall happen simultaneously. In case events make them close, the presidential election has to happen first. Maybe the situation will be considered an exception, though, so I'm not going to push the changes. --Aréat (talk) 08:08, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
 * It seem the three organic laws have been voted by the two chambers without amendments: http://www.madagascar-tribune.com/Les-lois-electorales-adoptees-par,23743.html
 * OK, happy for the article to be split then. Do you want to update the electoral system sections too? I can't find anything in English on the changes. Number   5  7  08:23, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Beside saying that all parliament members will be elected through FPTP, these organic laws are actually pretty vague on the election process, as far as I could see. Currently the hot topic is the accusation of open bridery and corruption surrounding the votes, so we may have to wait a bit to get more info on the actual procedure. Then I would be happy to add them as soon as possible.--Aréat (talk) 15:43, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

At least the electoral law has been finalised. The total number of deputies remain 151, with some elected by first past the post and other in two members constituencies with proportionnality. The latter are fixed as the six districts composing the national capital city Antananarivo, all districts of the province's capital cities, and all constituencies with more than 300,000 people. Sadly it doesn't state the total this make, though.--Aréat (talk) 13:34, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Results
I added the results on the french page, just so you know. ;)--Aréat (talk) 00:23, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

Detailed results
Hi Aréat, it took me less than expected so I've already finished. I'll put down here an updated version of my results count since I removed some duplicates and some labels used by independent candidates that I mistakenly interpreted as parties. Another minor issue that I found is that in a handful of constituencies the sum of the votes obtained by all the candidates was more than the indicated valid votes. I'm not sure if that was the right strategy, but I compensated for that by lowering the number of invalid votes so that the total remained the same.
