Topic: 1993 elections


  
  Cambodian Information Center >> Gao Briefing Report - Feb. 1996
The Department of Defense said that erecting a framework for conducting a fair election by 1998 is not entirely outside the realm of possibility, and the Department of State said that the important issue is to have free and fair elections, not that they be held as scheduled in May 1998.
UNTAC was charged with helping Cambodia conduct free and fair elections in 1993, supervising the withdrawal of Vietnamese officials and advisors from Cambodia, enabling Cambodian refugees to return, demobilizing the military forces of the various factions, and improving human rights conditions in order to prevent the return of the Khmer Rouge.
Delays in meeting the precise election timetable would not be unexpected in view of competing legislative priorities, the inexperience of Cambodian officials and the need for consultation with technical experts in the develop of the law.

Elections are scheduled for July 26, but the willingness and ability of the government to conduct them credibly is in doubt.
But for the elections to be considered free and fair, the campaign period must be reasonably free of manipulation and intimidation, the polls must be conducted in a competent and neutral manner, and the parties must honor the outcome.
Moreover, the ultimate outcome of the 1993 elections, a forced coalition with the CPP when Hun Sen refused to accept the results, serves as a strong reminder that the concept of a loyal opposition in Cambodia is weak.

 Russia's 1993 Parliamentary Elections
Candidates qualified for this election either by being nominated by a party or coalition that had already qualified for the nationwide party list vote or by collecting petition signatures equal to one percent of their electoral district (about four or five thousand).
Combined in an election process involving a constitutional referendum that utilized an archaic negative cross-out style of voting, and candidate elections for two legislative chambers involving both an affirmative one-candidate and a two-candidate voting choice, it is understandable how Russian voters might have been somewhat confused and discouraged by their task.
Both the phenomena of contradictory election results and voter confusion show that imposition of new election systems, often driven by scholarly theory and political compromise, may have unexpected and unsatisfactory consequences, at least initially.
