ELECTIONS AND ELECTORAL SYSTEMS

Summary/Abstract: The authoress expounds the meaning and function of elections in three types of political systems. She indicates that elections as a formalized procedure or a standardized one are also carried out in political systems which are not democratically structurized. However, these elections lack the element of electing because the vater does not have the opportunity and freedom to choose amongst more candidates and different political parties due to the fact that they do not exist. In the second part of the paper electaral systems are discussed as well as their key structural elements which have major import on the outcome of the elections. Further on, the authoress indicates the effects of certain types of political systems on the party-system and also on the stability of the government and political system.
