	Hanna Batatu on Iraq Elections - UN Security Council - Global Policy Forum
		It is sometimes forgotten that the British organized elections in a number of their colonial possessions, both for external show and in order to create a certain degree of internal cohesion and legitimacy.
		Altogether there were 12 parliamentary elections, in addition to the elections to the Constituent Assembly of 1924.
		In a formal sense, it is not correct to speak of the “assignment” of seats to the tribal chiefs, as the pretense of “free elections” was always maintained.

	General elections in france 9/16 june 2002 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Although these two elections are typified by landslide victories, by the Right in 1968 and the Left in 1981, the same goes for the 1993 elections with victory for the Right, whereas the percentage of constituencies undergoing a second vote was one of the highest during the V Republic.
		The fight for the general elections seems to be increasing in ferocity, which is in line with the growing influence of the penalty vote in preference of a second vote.
		The 2002 elections bear witness to a decline in the number of constituencies involved in a second vote (50,1%, ie 90% of mainland constituencies), ie a comparable or closer level to the one reached in 1958 (91.61%), in 1973 (90%), in 1978 (88%) and in 1993 (87%).

	Restricting Political Action Committees (H.R.4970)
		The Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, its 1974 and 1976 Amendments, all the proposals of the last three years to further amend the Act, and the Federal Election Commission itself were all inspired by the notion that money is an evil influence in elections.
		Indeed, in the nineteen House races in the 1978 elections in which an incumbent was defeated, the successful challengers outspent the incumbents in eleven of the races but the losing incumbents outspent their challengers in eight.
		Election law reformers tried to put a ceiling on individual campaign expenditures, but these were declared unconstitutional by the Court.

	It's party time! - Territorial Battles: Yukon Elections, 1978-2006 - CBC Archives
		• In 1978, there were only 23,000 people living in the Yukon, and only 9,750 eligible voters (up just 208 people from the 1974 election.) Because of the great distance many voters would have to travel to reach the polls, Yukon voters could use a proxy system to delegate their vote to someone else.
		• In 1978, the handling of elections in the Yukon was passed to the territorial government, instead of Canada's chief electoral officer.
		Northwest Territories elections and Nunavut elections continue to be run without political parties.

		The election is also expected to put the final touches to Kanu's long-term strategy by completing its merger with the National Development Party, thereby contributing significantly not just to its membership but also to its ability to win future elections.
		In 1978, elections naturally had to be called to avail the Moi faction an opportunity to consolidate its hold on power, having just succeeded Kenyatta.
		In 1978, when the Vice-President of the republic, who traditionally is the second-in-command in the party, was opposed, the President, contrary to expectations, did not come to Mr Kibaki's aid.

		During the semi-annual meeting of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines held in Baguio on July 7-9, the bishops and archbishops present made an assessment of the conduct of the elections for the Batasang Pambansa on April 7.
		After comparing notes and impressions on how the election was conducted, they reached a consensus that, in many places in the country, there was ample evidence of fraud and deceit, of connivance between government officials and some teachers to tamper with the results and to frustrate the will of the people.
		I urge them to present their charges before the Commission on Elections whose sworn constitutional duty is to uphold the cause of clean and fair elections.

		The next gubernatorial election won’t be until 2010, but the next regular legislative session will be in 2009 and — barring a lightning strike on the presidential campaign trail — Perry still will be governor then, still in a position to promote or veto the contributors’ priorities.
		In 1978, Bill Clements did his best to hang Jimmy Carter as the proverbial albatross around then-Attorney General John Hill’s neck in the race for governor, even to the point of using a rubber chicken as a prop.

		This fall's congressional elections will be a big show with large consequences because 2006 is looking a lot like the political years 1958, 1966 and 1978, all of which heralded major political transformations.
		The 1978 elections during Jimmy Carter's presidency marked the emergence of a powerful New Right that swept Ronald Reagan into office in 1980 and continues to be the dominant force in the Republican Party.
		But in 1958, 1966 and 1978, the out party gained ground largely by exploiting the failures of the party in power and exacerbating the contradictions in its coalition.

	Taxpayer Financing of Elections: Government as a Special Interest (H.R.I)
		The major party general election candidates are limited to a government grant of $20 million plus 20 percent for fund raising costs for their general election campaigns.
		Matching funds could be used only to defray campaign expenses incurred for the general election, that is, they could be used only after a candidate wins his primary or otherwise qualifies for the general election ballot.
		The only conclusion possible from a survey of the 1976 elections is that no average candidate would have been able to receive the full matching payment of $60,000 and that the average challenger was particularly far from that amount while the average candidate for an open seat was the closest, followed closely by incumbents.

	Colombia - Post-National Front Political Developments
		With the return to normal interparty competition in the April 1974 presidential elections and the 1976 local elections, the PL's popular superiority enabled it to capture the presidency, a large working majority in Congress, and majorities in many of the departmental assemblies and municipal councils.
		Alfonso López Michelsen--the PL candidate in the 1974 presidential elections and the son of former President Alfonso López Pumarejo (in office 1934- 38 and 1942-45)--won with 55 percent of the popular vote, easily defeating Conservative candidate Gómez Hurtado.
		He ran in the 1978 elections as a candidate of the National Movement (Movimiento Nacional), consisting of Conservatives, dissident Liberals, Christian Social Democrats, and remnants of Anapo.

	1978 GOP Sets Stage for Reagan by Andrew E. Busch (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The 1978 elections changed much of that picture and put Republicans back on the road to long term success.
		Weeks before election day, both the House and the Senate passed a version of the Kemp-Roth tax cut, only to see the White House force it out in conference committee with a veto threat.
		All in all, the 1978 election dramatically raised the profile of the tax-and-spending issue, drove (as it was driven by) a new and more conservative policy climate, and highlighted the vulnerability of liberal Democratic Senators from not-so-liberal states, a phenomenon that would cost Democrats control of the Senate two years later.
