The Election Commision in Malaysia

Furthermore The First past the Post system gives rise to a coherent opposition in the legislature. In theory, the flip side of a strong single-party government is that the opposition is also given enough seats to perform a critical checking role and present itself as a realistic alternative to the government of the day. It advantages broadly-based political parties. In severely ethnically or regionally divided societies, FPTP is commended for encouraging political parties to be ‘broad churches’, encompassing many elements of society, particularly when there are only two major parties and many different societal groups. These parties can then field a diverse array of candidates for election. In Malaysia, for example, the Barisan Nasional government is made up of a broadly-based umbrella movement which fields Malay, Chinese, and Indian candidates in areas of various ethnic complexions.

The two features of structure of parliament and election are fundamental to Indonesia. The People’s Consultative Assembly has two chambers: the People’s Representative Council (DPR) and the Regional Representative Council (DPD), however only the DPR has the final decision to pass, change or reject any laws. The political system of Indonesia is a republic and doesn't involve a Queen, with a president being the head of State. This system is a specific example of the United States of America's parliament as its follows these characteristics. Elections for the DPR and DPD are held every five years. For a president be elected, they have to get at least 281 of the 560 electorates in the DPR. Voting is not compulsory. Voters must register before an election in order to be able to vote. Citizens can vote when they are 17 years old or earlier if they are married, however voting is not compulsory.

The purpose of elections is to allow the people to voice their opinions on who they wish should hold public office in the government. Whichever candidate has the most votes, win the election.

SMP voting is often seen as easy for the voter to use because you only have to mark X on the paper ballot beside the candidate you choose with a pencil and then at the end of election day all the X are counted to determine the winner. The results are usually known within a few hours of the polls closing and the public knows which party is forming the new government by the end of the night. (Wilson 4) this results in a better chance at a strong majority government being elected. Those in favour of SMP argue that majority governments are needed because they create

The election of people in the House of Commons occurs in two manners. During a general election, in this the members of various constituencies are elected in a concurrent manner. The other manner is that of a General Election that takes place in a period of every five years. When the current member who represents the constituency dies, retires or resigns, the Election takes place; this election is taken place for the election of a representative of one constituency only. These elections can take place at any time.

ELECTIONS are based on three organizing concepts: equal respect, free choice, and popular sovereignty are the building blocks of fair and just elections. The democratic process should treat all citizens as free and equal persons. As applied to the electoral process this requires that each citizen equal opportunity to have his or her vote equally counted.

It is important that a candidate becomes well known in the area they are hoping to represent and to this end they will often undertake a great deal of publicity work, such as leafleting houses, displaying posters, and canvassing door-to-door for votes. Publicity costs money and so the more wealthy parties will have an advantage. In addition, during a general election you will often see party political broadcasts for the main parties outlining their policies. This is because they can afford publicity campaigns that include film-making.

Populace elections, like most states in the world, provide that every vote carries the same weight in the race as any other. It also ensures that the president is elected honestly by all people. The populace votes to make sure that instead of sending the representatives to vote, people make their votes independently (Lewis, 2016). It is also redundant for elections to be voted twice; first by the majority then by the

elections of voting there are the words of the people that choose and no one person

There are two different election processes. There is a primary election in which the party selects the candidates to run and there is a general election in which the public votes for the candidate to run.

Many people may be questioning on what I have to propose with elections coming up in 2018, running for the Republican party has many positive aspects towards Health Care services and providers for the people of every generation. I will succeed with this plan that everyone would enjoy. We want to make a huge change in health care that will help many out and will be affordable for everyone. Being the oldest political party, many citizens would love to hear what we have to offer since we have seen and done everything. Many Republican states, for example Alaska, Idaho and Kansas will vote for our policy proposal because our view is based off of affordable, accessible and  high quality health insurance that will promise the Americans  the

There are numerous ways to improve the Malaysian electoral system both in fairness and efficiency. Currently, there is a lack in confidence in the validity or neutrality of the Electoral Commissions (EC). Members of the EC are elected by the Yang di- Pertuan Agong (YDPA) after discussing with the Conference of Rulers (Legal Research Board, 2013). However, according to Article 40 the YDPA can only act after receiving advice from the Cabinet or a Minister representing the Cabinet (Legal Research Board, 2013); in most cases it would mean the Prime Minister. Hence, it may seem that the politically neutral EC were to be pro-government. A solution to this problem would be to amend the Constitution so that the House of Representatives can debate on the nomination of the EC members, then their decision would be passed on to the YDPA. By doing so, the EC would comprise of members that have the approval of both the government and opposition, thus making the committee fairer. Aside from that, the EC should manage its own budget, and should be reviewed by the Auditor-General and not be dissected by the Parliament.

Article 44 of the federal Constitution vests the legislative authority of Malaysia Parliament. Explain the legislative process in the Malaysia Parliament.

The election process in the United States is a valuable process to the election of the proper officials to satisfy the people. The people run the country which is why we live in freedom because we control what happens with major decisions by choosing whom we want to decide these decisions. The whole country goes to vote on a certain day and by the end of that day we will vote to select who will run the country, state, county, or city political positions. The most complex decision and one with the biggest impact are selecting who the President of the United States shall be. We examine what their views are and who would do a better job. Then vote in our respected states with a certain number of electoral votes

Electoral systems in the region are mainly of the first-past-the post type. Electoral systems are essentially the electoral formula used for electing the executive and legislature. In the Anglo-Caribbean countries (except Guyana), the first-past-the-post system elects the members of parliament, a majority of whom nominate the prime minister. In the Latin Caribbean and Guyana the electoral formula is more complicated, often including proportional representation and either an indirectly or directly elected president. Caribbean electoral systems reflect the influence of the former colonial powers and national circumstances such as the racial composition of the population.
