U.S. Electoral College - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The electoral process was modified in 1804 with the ratification of the 12th Amendment and again in 1961 with the ratification of the 23rd Amendment. In many states, the electors are legally free to cast their votes for anyone they choose, although in some states to vote for someone other than their pledged candidate is a misdemeanor, in others a felony, and in a few it is merely illegal without penalty. Regardless of why the system was chosen, the term "electoral college" is not used in the U.S. Constitution, and it wasn't until the early 1800s that it came into general usage as the unofficial designation for the group of citizens selected to cast votes for President and Vice President. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/U.S._Electoral_College   (6758 words)

Elections Canada | Federal Representation 2004 - New Brunswick With a view to remedying the electoral district's population variance while respecting public input, the Commission's final recommendation adds to the electoral district portions of Restigouche, Gloucester and Kent counties, increasing the population and reducing its variance to —14 percent, a reduced population justified under the Act by the electoral district's large geographic area. The Miramichi electoral district is representative of the province's bilingual character in that the population in terms of both official languages was and remains almost exactly the same as the population province-wide. The electoral district will remain one of the smallest federal electoral districts in terms of population with a negative population variance of 13 percent, a justified and reasonable variance given the rural nature of the electoral district, its dispersed population and geographic challenges impacting on access to and availability of elected representatives. www.elections.ca /scripts/fedrep/newbruns/report/federal_e.htm   (5635 words)

Elections Canada | Federal Representation 2004 - Alberta It is true that the official position of the cities of Edmonton and St. Albert and some members of Parliament who spoke at our Edmonton hearings did not support the creation of electoral districts composed of part of the City of Edmonton and part of an outlying city or municipality. Williams objects to the loss to the existing St. Albert electoral district of the towns of Morinville and Legal, which are north of the City of St. Albert and which the Commission placed within the new federal electoral district of WESTLOCK–ST.

The Labour Party's influence on the Anguillian electorate was short-lived because Lloyd was defeated in the election held on 6th November 1957 by Kenneth Hazell, an independent candidate.

Alberta Electoral Boundaries Commission Interim Report The problems of representing vast, sparsely populated territories, for example, may dictate somewhat lower voter populations in these districts; to insist on voter parity might deprive citizens with distinct interests of an effective voice in the legislative process as well as of effective assistance from their representatives in the 'ombudsman' role. If one considers the electoral divisions within and adjacent to the two major cities as representing the "metropolitan community", nearly 66% of the population resided in the Calgary and Edmonton metropolitan electoral divisions. This is particularly the case for residents in electoral divisions that are already geographically large. www.altaebc.ab.ca /interimreport.html   (3728 words)
