Election process in india
India is a constitutional democracy with a parliamentary system of government, and at the heart of the system is a commitment to hold regular, free and fair elections. These elections determine the composition of the government, the membership of the two houses of parliament, the state and union territory legislative assemblies, and the Presidency and vice-presidency.The mainstay of a democratic society .Elections helps to solve the problem of succession in leadership and thus contributes to the continuation of democracy .
OffcourtAuthority
The document discusses several issues with the current state of elections in India, including the high number of MPs with criminal charges, the influence of money in politics, and lack of transparency in campaign funding. It proposes several electoral reforms such as giving voters the right to reject all candidates, increasing transparency in political party funding, and establishing an independent body to oversee criminal cases against politicians. However, some concerns are also raised about proposed reforms like the right to recall, including increased political instability, pressure on representatives, and higher costs. Overall, the document calls for biting the bullet and implementing tougher electoral reforms to reduce criminality and money power in politics.
Vote at 16
The group Young Voices is campaigning to lower the UK's voting age from 18 to 16 through their campaign called Franchise at 16. They argue that 16 and 17-year olds pay taxes, can work full-time, and in some cases serve in the armed forces, so they deserve the right to vote. Lowering the voting age could encourage more young people to vote and engage with the political process. Studies show that 16-year olds in other countries vote in similar numbers to 18-24 year olds when given the opportunity.
Individual vote matter
Voting is a fundamental right that allows citizens to choose their leaders and have a say in decisions impacting their future. While some think their individual vote won't matter or make a difference, every vote does count. Elections are built on votes, and even small margins can impact results. Not voting means missing out on the freedom and responsibility of having a voice in the political process. It is important for citizens to vote in order to strengthen democracy and make their country better by influencing who governs and what policies are made.
AfriCOG Citizen Perception Survey on Elections
The document summarizes the findings of a survey on Kenyan citizens' perceptions of elections, the IEBC, and electoral reforms. Key findings include:
1) 63.3% of Kenyans are willing to participate in future elections, but 36.7% are unwilling or uncertain, mainly due to mistrust in electoral processes. The youngest and those in North Eastern region expressed most unwillingness.
2) Opinions are divided on IEBC impartiality and 2017 election fairness, but 48.8% agree IEBC needs reconstitution. 50.8% believe IEBC allocated inadequate time for voter registration. 59% support electronic voting systems.
3) Focus group discussions found willingness to vote stems
A tale of two agencies: designing automatic voter registration
This document summarizes the challenges and successes of implementing automatic voter registration through the Department of Motor Vehicles in Oregon in 2016. It discusses how Oregon was able to register 200,000 new voters, a 66% increase over previous levels, through this process. However, it also notes the difficulties of collaboration between the DMV and Secretary of State agencies, as well as ensuring accessibility for a diverse population. Overall, it advocates for stronger collaboration, communication, and user-centered design practices to continually improve democratic processes and civic participation.
2004 Election Day Survey
1) The 2004 US election saw over 177 million registered voters and over 121 million ballots counted. However, registration and turnout rates vary significantly depending on location and demographic factors.
2) Areas with larger populations tended to have higher percentages of inactive voters on registration rolls and more provisional ballots cast. Suburban communities had the highest turnout overall.
3) Absentee and early voting have increased significantly in recent years, now accounting for 20-35% of ballots cast depending on the state. Rates varied based on factors like whether absentee ballots required an excuse.

Should voting age remain 18?
The document discusses whether the voting age should remain 18 in Bangladesh given changing socio-political conditions. It notes that younger generations are more engaged in issues and have a greater sense of responsibility. Statistics show that over 23 million young voters between 18-28 could impact the next election. Young people feel existing politicians are often uneducated and politics risks their benefit. While some argue youth are immature, others say many 18-year-olds are independent and face adult responsibilities. Voting ages vary globally but most common is 18.
Survey: Attitudes of South Africans in Advance of Elections
Just over half of South African respondents aged 18-34 said they planned to vote in the upcoming general elections, with higher levels of apathy among coloured respondents. Many lacked confidence in their voting knowledge, especially undecided voters, and over 60% did not understand the concept of proportional representation, indicating civic education needs. While respondents engaged in some civic activities like social media, civic participation was lower among non-voters. Additionally, over half were unaware of having local representatives, and aware respondents said representatives rarely visited communities. The research suggests high voter apathy driven by knowledge gaps that mobile phones and applications could help address through targeted civic education.
Should The Electoral College Be Abolished
The document discusses the arguments for and against the Electoral College system in the United States. It outlines how the current Electoral College system works and some of its perceived advantages, such as giving smaller states more influence and not requiring a national recount. However, it also notes criticisms of the system, such as the possibility that a candidate could win the national popular vote but lose the Electoral College.
The electorate who votes, suppression, and rights
Voter turnout in the US has generally been declining, reaching a 20-year low of 58% of the eligible voting population in 2016. Historically, certain groups like African Americans, women, and youth faced barriers to voting through policies like literacy tests and poll taxes. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 helped increase African American voter turnout by outlawing discriminatory practices. However, a 2013 Supreme Court decision removed certain protections, and some states have since enacted new voting restrictions like voter ID laws and limits on early voting. There are ongoing debates around how to increase voter participation and address modern forms of potential disenfranchisement.

Historically, certain groups like African Americans, women, and youth faced barriers to voting through policies like literacy tests and poll taxes. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 helped increase African American voter turnout by outlawing discriminatory practices. However, the Supreme Court's decision in Shelby County v. Holder allowed some states to pass new voting restrictions that disproportionately impact minorities and the poor. There continues to be debate around how to balance access to voting with preventing voter fraud.
American election PowerPoint
The document discusses how democracy and voting works in the United States compared to other democracies. While most democracies use a popular vote system where the candidate with the most total votes wins, the US uses an electoral college system. This system allocates each state a certain number of "electoral votes" based on population. Whichever candidate wins a state gets all of its electoral votes, even if they only win by a small margin. The candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win the presidency overall. This means voters in swing states that could vote either way may feel they have more influence than those in safe states that consistently vote one way.
Votingvoxpop
The document argues that 16- and 17-year-olds demonstrated their ability to participate in the political process through the Scottish independence referendum, and lowering the voting age nationally to 16 would allow youth to gain practical experience in democracy as they learn about it in citizenship education. While support for votes at 16 has grown among politicians and organizations, two government commissions found against it due to concerns about inconsistent age limits and whether it would increase youth political engagement, and there remains public and youth opposition.

The document argues that 16- and 17-year-olds demonstrated their capability to participate in important political decisions through the Scottish independence referendum. Lowering the voting age to 16 would allow those who studied citizenship education to put that knowledge into practice by voting. Several organizations, politicians from different parties, and young people support lowering the voting age, though there are still issues that could prevent its adoption.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
