	Election Resources on the Internet: Parliamentary Elections in the U.K. - Elections to the House of Commons
		The United Kingdom Parliament is composed of the Crown, that is the monarch, the House of Lords, an appointive and hereditary upper chamber, and the popularly elected lower chamber, the House of Commons.
		For general election purposes, the United Kingdom is currently divided into 646 constituencies, each of which returns one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons, elected for a maximum term of five years.
		As a result, the average number of electors per constituency for the 2001 election was 67,380, but the individual constituencies ranged from a low of 21,706 electors in the Western Isles (in Scotland's north-western coast) to a high of 104,431 in the Isle of Wight (located off the coast of southern England).

	Polling Critic #13 - Elections, Polling and Democracy - Alan F. Kay, PhD
		One is fine: improving existing methods, based on election supervisors in the 3,043 U.S. counties and voting largely on election day in about 100,000 precincts.
		The problems were exponentially increased based on the fact that about 200,000 voting machines had to be loaded for election day, often with last minute changes in candidate lists at local, county, state and national levels, affecting each machine differently.
		That means that for each new election many tens of thousands of competent, trustworthy, technicians, employed by private industry had to program and set up the machines in a very short time.

	Opinion: With Iraq election over, Blair now fighting to win his own

		For example, Robin Cook, Blair's former foreign secretary and an opponent of the invasion of Iraq, welcomed the elections on the BBC and called for a "change of direction so radical that it is seen by Iraqis as a new strategy and not as a continuation of the failed approach of the past two years."
		The elections are "little more than a cruel joke" for Iraqi women, who, ironically, were once the freest in the Arab world.
