Overview

Most of these mational level parties have no significant following.  The February 2002 parliamentary elections gave seats in the Legislative Assembly to only five of the fifty parties: 
- Unidad Social Cristiana (Social Christian Unity Party (PUSC)) - 19
- Partido Liberación Nacional (National Liberation Party (PLN)) - 17
- Partido Acción Ciudadana (Citizens Action Party (PAC)) - 14
- Partido Movimiento Libertario (Libertarian Movement Party (PML)) - 6
- Partido Renovación Costarricense (Costa Rica Renovation Party (PRC)) - 1
The presidential run-off election in April 2002 was won by the PUSC candidate with 58% to the PLN's 42%.

Partido Acción Ciudadana

image by Ivan Sache, 26 January 2002

Dov Gutterman located the website of Partido Acción Ciudadana (Costa Rica): <www.pac.or.cr>. On the bottom of the homepage is shown a 1:2 flag, diagonally divided yellow-red, with the party acronym PAC, in red, placed vertically along the hoist.
One of the picture in the image gallery shows a party meeting <www.pac.or.cr>. Behind the stand is hanging a 2:3 flag, diagonally divided yellow-red, with the party acronym PAC, in black, placed horizontally in the middle of the flag. It seems to me that the acronym was manually added on a "plain" flag (look especially at the weird C letter).
Ivan Sache, 26 January 2002

Same flag as at top but with other proportions appears at <www.tse.go.cr>.
