In most jurisdictions, candidates will lose their security deposit if they fail to win more than a certain percent of the popular vote at an election. For example, in United Kingdom parliamentary elections, candidates must pay a security fee of £500 to secure their nomination. This money is refunded only if the candidate wins more than 5.0% of all valid votes cast. In Hong Kong, the threshold is 3%, whilst in India it is a more unusual 16.7% of the vote.
Not all jurisdictions operate this policy. In some, security deposits may not be returned at all; in others, like Canada, they are automatically returned no matter how many votes one gets.
