	Politics of Austria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As of the beginning of the twenty-first century, Austria's Second Republic presents itself as a stable federal republic with a written constitution, governed according to the principles of representative democracy and the rule of law.
		Aside from the fact that the states of Austria lack an independent judiciary on the one hand and that their autonomy is largely notional on the other hand, Austria's government structure is surprisingly similar to that of incomparably larger federal republics such as Germany or the United States.
		An overview on elections and election results is included in Elections in Austria.

	Election Resources on the Internet: Federal Elections in Austria - Elections to the Nationalrat
		The Parliament of the Republic of Austria is composed of a lower house, the Nationalrat or National Council, whose members are directly elected by universal adult suffrage, and an upper house, the Bundesrat or Federal Council, whose members are appointed by the legislatures of the Länder or states of Austria.
		Since 1920, elections to the National Council have been carried out by proportional representation, although the seat allocation procedures were modified in 1970 and in 1992.
		After the State Treaty of 1955 made Austria fully sovereign (as well as neutral), and Soviet troops withdrew from the eastern part of the country, the KPÖ's fortunes declined: in 1959 it lost the few seats it held in the National Council, and in subsequent elections it gradually lost most of its remaining support.

		At times, Austria's political system seemed impervious to change, but by the middle of the 1980s, it had become clear that far-reaching social and economic trends were beginning to affect the country's politics.
		In the national election of 1990, the FPÖ won 16.6 percent of the vote, establishing itself as a new power in the Nationalrat.
		The strong emotions unleashed inside Austria by this matter showed that the older generation is still reluctant to discuss the country's role in the Nazi era.

	Crosswalk.com - The 'Blame Bush' Game Rolls On
		Carter whines that Republican election officials have tried to disqualify 22,000 African American voters in Florida, voters who are, he says, "likely Democrats." Carter neglects to mention that the disenfranchised are convicted felons who, by virtue of their non-virtue -- their felony -- are automatically deprived of their civil rights, including the right to vote.
		During the 2000 election, 46,000 people were registered to vote in both New York and Florida, according to election records in both states.
		Because election records are routinely purged, there is no way to tell how many people -- from either party -- voted twice, but the fact that George W. Bush won Florida by even one single vote is nothing short of a miracle -- and I use "miracle" in the literal, biblical sense.

		The week of the elections observers were oriented, trained and involved in the electoral process in the communities 2 days prior and the day of the elections.
		Given the fierce competition in the 2003 elections at the municipal level, in the run-up to the 2004 Presidential elections, most political parties, despite voicing strong protests against floating votes, attempted to exploit this legal loophole to their advantage.
		In the final weeks of the campaign, up until the day before the elections, Mission Observers were informed of several cases of vote buying and influencing in rural communities in which voters had to give up their voting cards or promise to vote for a particular party.

		The election for the National Council of 24 November 2002 took place prematurely, only three years after the last elections.
