In a statement published on their website, the hunters’ federation claims 17,816 votes belonging to its members.

This number excludes hunters’ families and about 4,000 trappers who were not given the chance to acquire a licence when the government stopped issuing licences for trapping in 2002, FKNK declares in its document.

The document lists a break-down of the votes held by hunters, district by district. It said Gozo was the biggest district with 3,000 votes, followed by 2,460 votes in the seventh district (which incudes Rabat and Dingli) and 1,304 votes in the 12th district (which includes Mellieha but does not, contrary to the hunters’ list, include Ghajnsielem).
