Vote Rigging Of Bangladesh
This document summarizes research comparing the views of older and younger generations in Bangladesh on election rigging. A survey was conducted of 30 people, with questions on their views of different election eras, reasons for rigging, and methods used. Key findings were generational differences, with younger people more concerned about democracy and political development, while older people had more experience with elections. Both groups saw local elections and ruling party involvement as reasons for rigging. The research supported the hypothesis that generational views would differ, with older focusing more on experience and younger on facts/technology. Fair elections were concluded as important for Bangladesh's development.

The document discusses several challenges to democracy in India, including a lack of internal democracy in political parties, the growing influence of money and muscle power in elections, and the criminalization of politics. It notes that many political candidates have criminal backgrounds or pending criminal cases. Several causes of this problem are outlined, such as parties nominating criminal candidates for their vote bank and money power. Loopholes in how the Election Commission functions and a denial of justice and rule of law also enable criminalization. Solutions proposed include stronger voter ID verification, new voting machines, awareness campaigns, and stricter laws around candidate disclosures and eligibility.

The function of the judiciary in preventing the criminalization of politics.pdfFree Law - by De Jure
The criminalization of politics involves criminals entering politics, running for office, and even being elected to the Parliament and state legislature. When discussing election changes, criminalization of politics is at the forefront of the public discourse. A Supreme Court ruling on the criminalization of politics in February 2020 could have far-reaching effects for Indian democracy.
The verdict was rendered in a case of contempt of court brought against the Chief Election Commissioner of India. The petition said that the ECI had failed to take any efforts to ensure the implementation of a 2018 judgment of the bench mandating that political parties declare and publicize all pending criminal charges against their candidates.

A CRITICAL STUDY OF THE IMPACT OF UNEMPLOYMENT ON VOTER TURNOUT IN SOME SELEC...SIR SUCCESS PRINCE DUAH DUAH
Today, voter turnout is one of the crucial signals of how citizens participate in the governance of their country. Higher voter turnout is in most cases a sign of the vitality of democracy, whilst lower turnout is usually associated with voter apathy and mistrust of the political process (Birch, 2010). Voter turnout measures the percentage of voters that have actually taken part in an election; the proportion of eligible voters who actually cast a vote. Votes can be classified into ballot papers which were correctly filled out and those which were incorrectly filled out and therefore counted as invalid. Because of the importance of voter turnout, media and civil society actors, as well as the democracy support community and many other stakeholders are concerned when citizens do not turn out to vote. Such communities are keen to understand the reasons behind low turnouts.
In Ghana, according to all media platforms including Ghana Web, the 2023 District Assembly Elections across the recorded a notably low turnout, with officials expressing concern over the limited number of voters at polling stations. The exercise which was held on Tuesday, December 19th and 21st, 2023 to elect district assembly members and unit committee members for the various constituencies across the country, had few people turning up to vote. The low voter turnout was attributed to a number of factors including lack of civic education, low trust in the local government system, unemployment and also voting on a working day. Poor voter turnout goes out to weaken our democracy and ultimately slow our development as a country. Based on the above concern, it has become very necessary to have a critical study of the impact of unemployment on voter turnout in some selected electoral areas in the Kumasi Metropolis in Ghana.

This paper focuses on elections and foreign democracy assistance to Nigeria in 2015-2019 Key lessons and challenges. The study combined historical and descriptive research methods. While the historical design provided a guide into Nigeria’s democratic journey, the descriptive method helped us explain clearly these impeding factors that have hindered foreign democratic assistance from falling short of the desired standard in the country. The data was gathered through secondary sources. The realistic theory of change by Anderson, a modification of Carols 1972 change model theory, was used as the framework of analysis. The study revealed that 1 Nigeria received democratic assistance between 2015 and 2019 from the US, UK, EU, and other major international partners engaging in democratic promotion. 2 In spite of billions of dollars received as foreign democratic assistance, her political development has remained gloomy. 3 International promoters of democracy in Nigeria have clearly defined objectives with their philanthropic and international assistance for democratic transition, but in a bid to promote democracy, in the context of globalization promoting a free market economy and favourable investment opportunities for their multinational corporations. Lastly, the result shows some key lessons and implications that represent the immediate conclusions and recommendations of this study, such as that, for FDA to be successful, democratisation processes need to be driven from within and supported by at least some key domestic actors, achieve a balance between different goals, connect with the grass roots level, incorporate civil society, and so on. Thus, the election violence, rigging, manipulation, and imposition of candidates that characterised Nigerian elections do not in any way relate to or correlate with foreign democratic assistance objectives.

2. Common forms of traditional political participation are voting, protest, and volunteering or fund-raising for a campaign
3. Throughout American history, there has been a progressive, if uneven, expansion of suffrage to groups previously denied suffrage, such as African Americans, women, and youths
4. Though the United States now has a system of universal suffrage, voter turnout continues to be low
5. Digital political participation influences government by using the internet, including mobilizing support through email, visiting candidate websites, and campaigning on social networking sites, and signing online petitions
6. By 2016, virtually every serious candidate for higher office has social media accounts to reach supporters, who in turn can signal amplify the candidate's message to their own friends and followers
7. Research suggests that digital politics does have an impact on participation, and new forms, like expressive politics, such as the sharing of hashtags and symbolic profile pictures
8. The 2016 election showed some of the dark side of digital politics, with allegations of Russian attempts to motivate Trump supporters and suppress Clinton supports through fake news, propaganda, and other social media manipulation.

The quality of government and why elections fail ( pdf drive )
This document discusses factors that influence the quality and integrity of elections, focusing on the structure, capacity, and culture of electoral authorities. It analyzes how the independence of electoral management bodies, government effectiveness, and the impartiality of public administration may impact electoral performance.

Democratic Republic of Congo--2011 FDA Global Electoral Audit Report Foundation for Democratic Advancement
The 2011 FDA audit of electoral fairness in the Democratic Republic of Congo found an overall score of 3.75%, indicating electoral unfairness. The audit examined laws regarding political media content, candidate/party influence, electoral finance, and voter expression. It found that while some legislative basis for multi-party politics and voter choice exists, the state can restrict these freedoms and dissolve parties.

The criminalization of politics means that criminals can participate in elections and get elected to positions in parliament or state legislatures. This occurs due to connections between politicians and criminals. There are several reasons for this, including a lack of enforcement of laws/judgments, voters prioritizing community interests over candidate backgrounds, muscle/money power influencing elections, violations of electoral codes, limited voter awareness, lack of governance, and favoritism based on caste/religion. Effects include limiting voter choice, undermining good governance as lawbreakers become lawmakers, and increased corruption affecting public servants. The Supreme Court asked if a lifetime ban on convicted candidates should be imposed.

The media are essential to democracy, and a democratic election is impossible without media. A free and fair election is not only about the freedom to vote and the knowledge of how to cast a vote, but also about a participatory process where voters engage in public debate and have adequate information about parties, policies, candidates and the election process itself in order to make informed choices. Furthermore, media acts as a crucial watchdog to democratic elections, safeguarding the transparency of the process. Indeed, a democratic election with no media freedom, or stifled media freedom, would be a contradiction.

This document discusses the prevalence of money and muscle power in Indian politics as revealed by a survey conducted by the Association of Democratic Rights (ADR) over 10 years. The ADR survey found that candidates with criminal records have more financial assets than those without, and having a criminal record significantly increases one's chances of winning elections in 16 of 19 major Indian political parties studied. Recent elections in Karnataka also showed high average assets for winning candidates, with the richest having over Rs. 900 crore in assets. To curb these problems, the document suggests demonetizing high-value currency notes to reduce black money and strengthening the Right to Information Act to increase transparency in government.

Democratic Republic of Congo--2011 FDA Global Electoral Audit Report
Democratic Republic of Congo--2011 FDA Global Electoral Audit Report Foundation for Democratic Advancement
The 2011 FDA audit of electoral fairness in the Democratic Republic of Congo found an overall score of 3.75%, indicating electoral unfairness. The audit examined laws regarding political media content, candidate/party influence, electoral finance, and voter expression. It found that while some legislative basis for multi-party politics and voter choice exists, the state can restrict these freedoms and dissolve parties. The Congolese electoral system was deemed authoritarian due to the state's ability to restrict freedoms and lack of transparency around media ownership, party finances, and restrictive terms like "public order." criminalization of politics
The criminalization of politics means that criminals can participate in elections and get elected to positions in parliament or state legislatures. This occurs due to connections between politicians and criminals. There are several reasons for this, including a lack of enforcement of laws/judgments, voters prioritizing community interests over candidate backgrounds, muscle/money power influencing elections, violations of electoral codes, limited voter awareness, lack of governance, and favoritism based on caste/religion. Effects include limiting voter choice, undermining good governance as lawbreakers become lawmakers, and increased corruption affecting public servants. The Supreme Court asked if a lifetime ban on convicted candidates should be imposed.

Discuss the role of media in election. What are the laws of election in Bangl...
The media are essential to democracy, and a democratic election is impossible without media. A free and fair election is not only about the freedom to vote and the knowledge of how to cast a vote, but also about a participatory process where voters engage in public debate and have adequate information about parties, policies, candidates and the election process itself in order to make informed choices. Furthermore, media acts as a crucial watchdog to democratic elections, safeguarding the transparency of the process. Indeed, a democratic election with no media freedom, or stifled media freedom, would be a contradiction.

- 7. The Bangladesh 2024 election's condition present significant challenges in term of implications for its foreign relations and domestic stability. The policy options are discussed below: 1. Imposing sanction: While imposing sanction might pressurize the government it will cause severe hardship on the ordinary citizens. 2. Political Concession: The AL party making concessions by releasing prisoners and reforming laws to show commitment to democracy while the BNP party easing their demands of Hasina's resignation may result in peaceful dialougue. 3. International mediation: International actors working together with two parties could facilitiate dialouges. This may lead to re-run of elections and electoral reforms. 4. Military intervention: while drastic it should be considered as a last option only as it poses risk of damaging the the democratic processes. The path forward is to navigate the complex poltical situation and creating an environment for free and fair elections which will likely require a combinations of above approaches. Implications:
- 8. Conclusion Bangladesh's foreign relations were profoundly affected by the country's 12th general election, which took place on January 7, 2024. Out of 300 seats, the Awami League in power won 222. Because of the opposition's boycott and poor voter turnout, the election was criticised for lacking true competition. The primary opposition party, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, was marginalised through the use of the courts. Road delays, police crackdowns, arrests, and the misappropriation of public funds were further consequences of the election.
