  Election - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Democracy Watch (International) website, further defines fair democratic elections as, "Elections in which great care is taken to prevent any explicit or hidden structural bias towards any one candidate, aside from those beneficial biases that naturally result from an electorate that is equally well informed about the various assets and liabilities of each candidate".
This was more formally stated in 2000 by Chief Justice Murray Gleeson of the Australian High Court as "The democratic and lawful means of securing change, if change be necessary, is an expression of the will of an informed electorate."
The apparently simple requirement of an informed electorate is difficult to achieve in modern electorates with thousands of voters, most of whom have no prospects of knowing candidates other than by information published by third parties.

 MURRAY GLEESON - LAW STUDENT
Chief Justice Gleeson, as a youth, before cultivating his reported recreational interest in raising piranhas (as Justice Meagher assures us) was a quiet, retiring pious lad given to prayer and reading the Catholic Weekly.
What he has not owned up to was that this was a clever device of his to divert me from a single-minded pursuit of academic excellence into a completely selfless devotion to the protection of my fellow students and their urgent interests.
It was in this way that Murray Gleeson set in train a course of conduct by which he has skilfully overtaken me at every turn in our lives.
