This document discusses electoral reforms to reduce the influence of money and muscle power in politics. It identifies problems in the current system such as the use of black money in campaigns, unqualified candidates, and lack of youth awareness. Solutions proposed include transparency in political party funding, minimum criteria for candidates like an aptitude test, and a fingerprint voting system to reduce rigging. The goal is to introduce reforms that curb corruption and give all citizens an equal voice in democracy.

Giving Them an Edge? The Effects of Work Experience on the Employment Prospec...The Rockefeller Foundation
This brief summarizes the results of NCLR’s quantitative analysis of the marginal effects of work experience on the employment prospects of millennials. It focuses on Latino young men, offering an overview of the structural barriers, an investigation of whether and to what extent additional work experience gives millennials a competitive edge in today’s hypercompetitive labor market, and recommendations to ensure that they fully leverage their work to maximize their potential in the labor market. In particular, this brief will examine the labor market outcomes of Latinos, the youngest and fastest-growing segment of the American labor force.
Driven by long‐term shifts in the labor market and on‐going poverty and inequality, youth employment challenges have mounted steadily over the last decade and reached a crisis point in the wake of the Great Recession. Youth unemployment in 2010 reached its highest level since World War II. The short‐ and long‐term consequences of youth unemployment are severe. Individuals who fail to
transition to stable jobs by their early 20s are at risk of experiencing more frequent and prolonged spells of joblessness, permanently lower earnings, and greater difficulty building a secure financial future for themselves and their families. Ultimately, youth unemployment and associated challenges threaten to perpetuate cycles of intergenerational poverty for individuals and communities.

Electoral System in 2025: Diagnosis and Change PrinciplesMarcin Senderski
Democracy’s image is becoming increasingly impaired. Its deterioration is proportional to the descending credibility of the top politicians. Thus, the rationale behind the assumptions to the newly developed electoral system should be to reinforce democracy’s rating by promoting more effective decision-makers and more transparent forms of government. This diagnosis, along with the assumption that society behaves rationally, underlies my forecast on how the electoral system may evolve in forthcoming years and how to address key challenges of contemporary democracy.

Organising PR Campaigns and Civil Education Campaigns, conference given by Cesar Flores, President of Smartmatic Asia at the International Electoral Affairs Symposium 2011
A short presentation. Research proposal on the voting preferences of generation X and Y voters in Metro Manila, Philippines. Qualitative research class.
Reflect on voter participation, campaign financing, and the legitimafelipaser7p
Reflect on voter participation, campaign financing, and the legitimacy of elections. Also discuss whether financing elections solely with tax dollars and banning contributions from special interest groups and individuals would make elections more representative of the will of the American people. Discuss whether “voter ID laws” have the effect of disenfranchising eligible voters or of protecting the sanctity of elections from fraud.
In responding to your classmates, discuss how the low level of voter turnout in American elections can make those elections less legitimate than they would be with higher turnout. Explain and support your position.
For your response posts (2), you must do the following:
Reply to at least two different classmates outside of your own initial post thread.
In Module One, complete the two response posts by Sunday at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
In Modules Two through Eight, complete the two response posts by Sunday at 11:59 p.m. of your local time zone.
Demonstrate more depth and thought than simply stating that “I agree” or “You are wrong.”
Guidance is provided for you in each discussion prompt.
classmates Post #1:
In this discussion, many questions are being raised about elections in general. Let’s look at these question one at a time:
Voter Participation: The Soomo web text covered that issue very well. It stated that a few criteria exist for the participation of voter, and they are usually categorized under a few categories. Voter Turnout is identified as more than approximately 74 % are college graduates, most who also vote to have annual incomes above 50 k per year also most who vote are older American over the age of 35 years or older. A lot of the voting is along party line as opposed to the quality of the candidate. But my feeling is that voters are moving toward voting for the candidate as opposed to the party. (Evans, J., & Michaud, K)
Campaign Financing: The content is always at the forefront of the news every election cycle. Monies are being thrown at the candidates and many illegal items come out of the campaigns. For example; Lavish Trips, extra activities not associated with the campaign (diner, escorts etc…) Dark money donor is and always have been an issue these monies are not recorded, this is almost like play money for the campaigns to do what they want, with whoever they want. The SuperPAC monies are for the candidate to be influenced in a way that the average person never knows about. The candidate doesn’t speak of the donation while on the speech tours but the widely influence the route a candidate take after he is elected. Even in small-town elections the monies from developers, business influences are given being the seen for agendas that no one sees. (Evans, J., & Michaud, K)
The legitimacy of Elections and the Voter ID issue goes hand in hand with each other. Many believe that voter fraud and the id or lack thereof is the biggest is ...
How will the future of politics and political campaigning look like? Who will be the heroes in the future political battles? Where will the battle take place - on the streets or in the virtual world? What weapons will the future political parties use?
In this report, the Institute of Customer Experience raises many of such questions and presents possible scenarios that might become a reality given the present trends.

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.

POLITICAL PARTIES MUST

COMPANIES AND BUSINESSES
MUST BE PERMITTED TO MAKE
DONATIONS TO RECOGNIZED
POLITICAL PARTIES OUT OF AFTER
TAX PROFITS.
BY INCREASING THE LIMIT OF
EXPENDITURE
The basic idea is that it is better to uncover things
than to ignore their presence. By and large almost
all parties use black money during elections. This
exercise can be curbed by allowing companies to
legally fund these parties.

gets through , then is up to the
party to decide whom to
ultimately nominate as their
candidate
PROCEDURE :
6. Why youth voters?
Youth voters are those
voters in the age group of
18 to 25 years. Most of the
voters in this age group are
first time voters
There is no formal or
informal mechanism to
prepare voters on how to
exercise their democratic
duties.
Why this campaign?
To instil a sense of
belonging among the youth.
To make them aware of
their rights and duties
To enable them to indulge
in quality discussions about
the politics of country.
Awareness campaign to reach out to
youth voters using social media:
Holding
worksho
ps in
colleges
NGOs can
help to some
extent in
spreading
awareness
among the
youth.
Quiz apps on
elections (regional
and national)
could be of some
help.
Competitions on this
theme in education
institutions and also at
district level to make the
voters esp. the youth
aware.
Political
parties can
hold
workshops in
colleges and
other institutes
about their
agenda , etc.
during the
canvassing
period.

WORKING:
1. Voter needs to put her Aadhar

Voter must be allowed to caste
vote when her fingerprint
matches with that of the
aadhar card.

8. SOLUTIONS TO POST-ELECTION
PROBLEMS
An intense survey should be conducted
by EC to disclose the wealth of post
holding candidate and his family before
conducting next general election. This
value should be compared with the
earlier estimate of wealth that was taken
before he/she was elected.
This will not only help in keeping black
money at bay but shall also prevent
corrupt people to enter once again in
politics.

Money power and politics have
become synonymous. Lack of

politicians corrupt and refused
to be self accountable. Its time
to end the lacunae and it’s the
time for the republic of India
to stand up.
