	DAWN - Opinion; September 21, 2002
		The decade-long electoral profile of Pakistan was characterized by the Punjab-based national divide between the two mainstream parties, PPP and PML.
		Electoral politics in the 1990s produced two parallel series of concentric or overlapping circles, which drew meaning from the fact of representing a wide spectrum of political groupings compressed into a bipolar conflict.
		Apart from de-institutionalization and localization of politics, the third major determinant of transformation of the electoral profile in Pakistan is the general disbelief in the logic of numbers on the floor of parliament being relevant for government formation in the new context.

		Following the 2004 elections project, which established the Electoral Secretariat of the Joint Electoral Management Body in order to provide Afghan nationals with experience and knowledge in the legal and administrative aspects of election planning and delivery, one objective of the 2005 National Assembly and Provincial Council elections project was to build on this foundation.

		It is interrelated with provincial and national government in one overall system of cooperative governance, in which the more each sphere cooperates with the other two, the stronger it can become.
		This is reflected in the electoral system and in the many requirements to ensure the involvement of women in the mechanisms, structures and processes of community participation.
		Provincial government in particular has to be more supportive of local government, notwithstanding the constraints of resources and capacity.

		The effect this has on most rational voters, who understand how the electoral rules promotes an implicit "two party system," is to discourage them from casting their ballots away on candidates and parties that have little chance of winning.
		The larger the districts are and the more diluted the voting strength of a minor party is in that district then the less chance there will be of a third party candidate or independent winning an election.
		By summing the percentages of votes won by each party across all districts and dividing these figures by the number of districts (expressed also as a percentage figure, that is, 4 Districts equals 400 percent) you can determine what proportion of seats goes to which party.

		An upper house of Parliament (the Meshrano Jirga or “house of elders”) is appointed by the Provincial Councils, the district councils, and the President.
		In July alone, four provincial governors who had earned the ire of both the public and the central government due to their inadequate performance were shifted to the same post in other provinces rather than being removed.
		Although their engagement in the electoral process could be construed as a powerful sign of progress in Afghanistan 's path toward democratization, it could also serve to further polarize what will already be a highly fractured national assembly.

	Elections in Iraq
		This whole electoral process, leading up to January 30th, was established in May with participation from Iraqi personalities, the Governing Council in particular, the participation of the Coalition Provisional Authority of the time and the participation of the United Nations, particularly, the Special Emissary, Lakhdar Brahimi, and the UN's elections expert, Madame Pirelli.
		It would be a matter that the Iraqi Electoral Commission and the observers, and presumably whatever security forces are going to ensure their security, would discuss.
		Under previous electoral arrangements, the head of the household could go and vote for everybody in his family and that way the women didn't have to leave the house.

	The New Yorker: PRINTABLES
		In the hall, bodies lay uncovered on tables: a man with a broad mustache and a slashed throat, found naked under a pile of garbage in a middle-class district; a man with a gunshot wound in his head, his blue eyes open and filmy; the small, flened corpse of a badly burned woman.
		At a meeting of the district council in Baghdad’s Karrada neighborhood, I listened to Governing Council representatives patiently explaining the interim constitution to a roomful of increasingly agitated citizens who, confronted with a fait accompli, accused the council of dismembering the country.
		The local and provincial councils set up by the C.P.A.—which should have been seedbeds of Iraq’s future leadership, offering the best hope for the emergence of moderate indigenous alternatives to the sectarian parties, with their armed militias and foreign backers—never received the means to exercise real power and show their constituents concrete results.

	CBC - Canada Votes 2006 - Voter Toolkit
		The office of the Chief Electoral Officer for Canada was established in 1920, leading to the recognition of several new classes of voters throughout the land.
		The Chief Electoral Officer can avoid postponing in the event of a minor local emergency or an administrative error by extending voting hours later into the evening, if he or she thinks large numbers of voters might otherwise not get to vote.
		Every 10 years, after the national census results are tabulated, an independent federal electoral boundaries commission is established for each of the 10 provinces to recommend how riding borders should be adjusted to compensate for population trends like this.

	The day after - The Boston Globe
		Rather than have members of the National Assembly elected from each province, the election will treat the entire country as one electoral district, awarding seats to parties, or coalitions of parties, on a proportional basis.
		While this avoided the time-consuming and contentious process of drawing electoral district boundaries -- which, it was argued, would have made voting by Jan. 30 impossible -- it also ensures that any area with low turnout stands to be underrepresented.
		Noah Feldman, a professor at New York University Law School who advised on the drafting of the interim Iraqi constitution and has argued forcefully for the potential of Islamic democracy, says that expectations for a truly representative result should be lowered in light of current conditions.

	Methodology
		78,886. Thus, the ANC which obtained 2,488,780 votes in Gauteng for its provincial list, was awarded, 32 seats. The ANC received an additional 31 seats from its vote in Gauteng for its national list for a total of 63 seats from the province.

		digitized maps) for each voting district to facilitate the application of the SDSS. The data was provided by the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) of South Africa. Responsibility for the choice and construction of the alternative systems simulated on this website is solely that of the authors.

		USAID accomplishes this through supporting the electoral process, re-establishing and institutionalizing the rule of law, facilitating local government reform, assisting with the establishment of a functioning legislative branch of government, and fostering the development of a viable civil society.
		This is accomplished though intensive training and technical assistance to the permanent election commission and its staff, training to political parties and candidates to assist them in campaigning and organization, civic education to increase citizens’ understanding of democracy and the electoral process, and support to logistics, operations and security surrounding electoral events.
		Currently, while there is a provincial government code to define these structures and their authorities, the relations with communities, traditional governance and adjudication bodies (shuras and jirgas), lower level district councils, the National Assembly and the Government in Kabul remain undefined.
