Delia does better among those with a primary or secondary education (12.9% in both), while Borg is strong- est among those with a post-secondary (29.5%) or tertiary education (27.9%). Franco Debono (8.2%) and Mark An- thony Sammut (5.7%) peak among ter- tiary-educated respondents. How the PN leader is elected The high number of undecided mem- bers reflects the fact that the leader- ship race has not yet formally started and no one has so far made known their intentions publicly. After Sunday's general council where the process formally kicks off, the ball is passed onto the party's electoral commission. The commission has three days to issue an expression of interest, which remains open for seven days. The commission will then pass on the names of candidates who showed an interest to a different body which carries out a due diligence exercise to determine their suitability. This exer- cise can last six weeks. It is only those candidates who pass the vetting process that can formally put forward their nomination. To be nominated, a candidate must secure endorsements from at least three PN MPs, five local councillors, 10 members of the executive commit- tee, 50 general council members, and 50 paid-up members. The PN leader is elected through a two-stage process. If more than two candidates are nominated, a secret vote is taken in the general council with the top two candidates proceeding to the next and final round of voting among all paid-up members (tesserati). If only two candidates contest, both proceed directly to the members' vote. If, on the other hand, just one candi- date is nominated, only one vote is tak- en in the General Council where a sim- ple majority will suffice. In this case, party members do not get a chance to vote.
