| Summary |
"Governments need rules, institutions, and processes to translate the will of the people into functioning democracies. Election laws are the rules that make that happen. Yet across the world various countries have crafted different rules regarding how elections are conducted, who gets to vote, who is allowed to run for office, what role political parties have, and what place money has in the financing of campaigns and candidates. This book is a cross-national comparative book surveying the electoral practices and law of the major and emerging democracies across the world. It brings together scholars on election law and democracy, examining specific issues, topics, and the regions of the world when it comes to rules, institutions, and processes regarding how they run their elections"--Publisher's description |
