	UNDP-POGAR: Country Index: Elections
		The most recent elections for the Egyptian legislative body were held in November, 2005.
		The most recent presidential elections held on September 7, 2005, however, were conducted according to the amended article 76 of the constitution stipulating that the president is to be elected by direct public contested elections, rather than by referendum after being nominated by the People's Assembly as in the past.
		In response to charges of fraud and corruption leveled at earlier elections, the Supreme Constitutional Court in July of 2000 ruled that the elections of 1990 and 1995 were unconstitutional.

		Elections for the U.S. Congress in particular may be as competitive and nearly as important as the presidential campaign.
		This was especially true in "midterm elections," that is, those held in the middle of a president's four-year term, and thus lacking in the inherently national focus of a presidential campaign.
		Indeed, the most important points may well be that the old ways in which campaigns were conducted are no longer the most effective and that voters are in the process of changing how they reach their decisions.

	Richard E. Cohen, "The Handicapping Begins for '98"
		Its preview of the 1998 elections showed that the incumbent party is in danger in only 75 districts, and these are divided virtually evenly between the parties.
		Likewise, only in two other elections since 1966 were at least as many House incumbents defeated as in each of the three most recent elections.
		Given the recent bipartisan cooperation over the budget deal, plus the prospect of a further blurring of partisan lines this fall during the expected debate on President Clinton's proposal for fast-track trade negotiating authority, the imperative for some partisan line-drawing will be strong.

		He was defeated in the November 1996 elections by Democratic Convention of Romania leader Emil Constantinescu but was returned to office with a 67% margin in the December 2000 presidential runoff election out of an original field of 13 candidates.
		Relations with the large ethnic-Hungarian population have improved despite the rather dramatic gains made by the ultra-nationalist Party of Great Romania (PRM) in recent elections; the PRM is the second largest party in the legislature and its presidential candidate, Corneliu Tudor, forced a runoff election against Iliescu in 2000.

		Following the most recent elections (November 2002), the OVP attempted, but failed, to form a coalition with the SPO and The Greens; the OVP then turned to its previous partner, the FPO.
		Over the recent decades, Austria's polity was dominated by the "grand coalition" formed by two of the country's most powerful parties: the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPO) and the People's Party (OVP).
		However, the formation of a new coalition government was difficult as the SPO declined to form a grand coalition and the FPO, still smarting from its electoral defeat, was not eager to forge a new partnership with the OVP.

		The data indicate the average turnout was 48 percent of registered voters for city council elections and 44 percent for mayoral races -- averages that mask dramatic differences in voting rates across California's communities, where turnout ranged from a low of 10 percent to a high of 89 percent.
		Research indicates that about half of the difference in turnout among California cities can be explained by election timing, because for over 100 years, California cities have scheduled off-cycle or "local-only" elections, most of which occur in the spring.
		Researchers estimate that if all municipal elections in the state had coincided with a presidential election, 1.7 million more California voters would have voted in their most recent city council contest.

		The election results will not convince the Bush administration and the U.S. Congress of the party's "acceptability," but it will make Lebanon a more likely American target, while also persuading U.S. officials that Hezbollah is flourishing under Syria's tender eye.
