 The Canadian Electoral System (BP-437E)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Only those who hold Canadian citizenship may vote in federal elections.  Because of the historical relationship with Great Britain, British subjects were allowed to vote in Canadian elections until the mid-1970s.
Canadians are very mobile, and about 20% of the information on the Register of Electors changes every year.  The Register is updated with information from existing federal and provincial data bases.  By complying with certain procedures and requirements, eligible voters are able to vote, even if they are not on the voters’ lists.
Each of the 308 Members of the Canadian House of Commons — including the Prime Minister and cabinet ministers, the Leader of the Opposition, and the Speaker — is elected to represent a particular constituency.  As noted above, elections in Canada are organized on a constituency basis and are largely administered at this level.

Under the Canadian Interim Sharing Arrangement ("Sharing Arrangement"), MTA and BTA licensees on certain narrowband PCS channels are not permitted to locate base stations within 75 miles of the U.S./Canadian border.
In the PCS MO&O we determined that eligibility for the paging response licenses would be restricted to incumbent paging licensees authorized under Part 22 and Part 90 of our rules as of June 24, 1993, the adoption date of the PCS First Report and Order.
Moreover, because only incumbent paging licensees are eligible to bid on these licenses, we believed that sealed bid auctions would help to reduce the chances of collusion among the limited number of bidders.

In the year from October 1993 to September 1994, 93 Members, over 1 in 5, spent less than $40,000 -- approximately the yearly allowance that a 75 percent cut would entail.
Constituent service not only distracts legislators and their staff from the work they were elected to do, but also undermines competitive elections by permitting incumbents to take credit for independent good works that obscure their legislative record.

 Poll: ROBBINS gets Canadian Federal Election on the $$$
This poll reflects a higher representative sample of Canadians because of (a) sample size of individuals, and (b) the increase in numbers of calls made to identify previous voters, and previous voters who were willing to identify who they voted for.
These issues are more visual, compelling and easily digested by Canadian voters, including the amount of time relating to the Gomery Inquiry, and the amount of focus given to images of shootings in Toronto, and Vancouver.
Canadians do not trust election officials nor do they trust the civil service, there is a reason our Parliamentary traditions call for Ministerial responsibility.

 The International Air Cargo Association
In the mid 1970s, aviation policy began to change in the direction of less government control, because it was recognised that government control had led to inefficient operations by the airlines and to higher-than-necessary fares for the public and shippers.
In the period from 1987 until 1993 three packages of measures, agreed in 1987, 1990 and 1992, were introduced to liberalise the aviation within Europe.
Since 1993, the third package is running, no distinction is made between international and domestic operations, nor between scheduled and charter operations, nor between passenger and freight operations.

 City campaigns on the cusp and the Edmonton mayoralty election of 1992 Journal of Canadian Studies - Find Articles
Visibly uncomfortable in "political" activities, the mayor chose (although less so than many previous incumbents) to campaign by exploiting the natural publicity associated with office-holding, preferring the managed event rather than the walk-about spontaneity of fairs, festivals and exhibitions.(f.33) This approach conservatized her style, moderating her naturally more radical policy preferences.
Some had grown to accept the way the system worked and tended to observe political challengers in the same light as did the incumbents: a threat to the established way of carrying on city business.(f.35) It is not surprising that Canadian municipal incumbents achieve some of the highest re-election rates found in industrial democracies.
But there was no "Janslide." Only one incumbent councillor lost, while one other chose to be beaten in the mayoralty contest.(f.54) The marked definition of ideological division between the two major mayoralty candidates produced voter turnout that was the highest for Edmonton in a generation (since Hawrelak's 1966 defeat).

 The Baha'i Faith in America as Panopticon, 1963-1997
The Baha’is’ inability to belong to political parties, vote in primaries that require party affiliation, contest partisan elections, contribute to political campaigns, or even express political views, detracts from their ability to participate fully in the affairs of the republic and in some important respects isolates them from the larger U.S. society.
The prohibition of nominations and campaigning leads administrators to feel a need for strict controls on Baha’i discourse, and often to the avoidance of even mentioning leaders by name in public, which would be construed as “backbiting.” The ban on campaigning can become a ban on visibility or on any sort of critical thinking.
It is perhaps not incidental that the controls on electioneering and other forms of communication have the side effect of ensuring that criticism of those in power cannot achieve wide circulation, and that the incumbents who exercise that control are reelected every year.

Canadians have reassembled a right of center Conservative party; it will be a more effective foil for the Liberals.
Canadian elections run a minimum of thirty-five days; this limit reduces the official electioneering (although as is the case in other twenty-first century democracies, all parties campaign all the time), but also intensifies it.
Basic guidelines for Canadian policy in these areas are now a decade old, and reportedly they are not scheduled for release until autumn.

 Negative campaigning
These ads are expensive, however, and if not well crafted can produce a backlash as voters dislike any sense of bullying.
A disastrous ad was run the Progressive Conservatives in the 1993 Canadian election emphasizing Liberal leader Jean Chrétien's facial disability.
Since negative campaigning is risky it is usually not done by candidates who feel they are the clear front runner, negative tactics are thus more often used by challengers than incumbents.

 New Perspectives and Evidence on Political Communication and Campaign Effects
Errors in the opposite direction are also likely as many respondents may feel compelled to respond affirmatively to questions monitoring their media exposure on the grounds that such responses speak well of their civic virtue.
Franklin's study of U.S. Senate campaigns found that voters were more precise in their perceptions of their incumbent senator's position on a liberal-conservative scale when exposed to a senatorial campaign featuring the incumbent (Franklin, 1993).
In short, when studying campaigns of differential loudness, the interactions that define campaign effects become more complex; voters' preferences become a function of the volume/intensity of the contestants' appeals, voters' partisan preferences, and their level of exposure to the campaign.

In the years of fratricidal civil war since 1993, nearly 50,000 Algerians have died, more than 50 journalists have been murdered, and almost 100 foreigners have been mutilated and killed.
Although 35% of the electorate boycotted the elections, this completely unexpected showing by the FIS indicated that people were tired of the old order, desperately sought change and were therefore partial to the Islamist message.
By the end of 1995, almost 50 journalists had been brutally slain, proving this was no idle threat, and shutting down all national and international discussion of the Algerian situation.
