Summary

Elections are by their nature a difficult undertaking. Partisans must be mobilised, ideas communicated, materials distributed, and often across ample territories under terrible contraints of time. Much political theory addresses the forms of democratic selection. We can learn much about presidential and parliamentary systems, or the tension between direct and representative democracy, or the conflicting virtues of proportional and districted or geographical systems of representation.
