Elections In practice, perhaps the most urgent practical steps in the United States involve: (i) reforming electoral regu- lations for registration and balloting; (ii) building more impartial, independent, and professional electoral management bodies; (iii) monitoring performance and expanding transparency through electoral observers, developing comparative and state-level indicators, and strengthening watchdog agencies; (iv) strengthening dispute resolution mechanisms and oversight agencies.

Elections The primary models of electoral administration … concern whether the main actors are governmental or independent agencies (on the horizon- tal axis) and whether decision-making and regulations are largely centralized or localized (on the vertical).

Elections When evaluating the integrity of elections, experts rated America exceptionally poorly. Compared with all 153 countries in the [Perceptions of Electoral Integrity (PEI)] survey, based on the average evaluations of both the 2012 and 2014 US elections, America scored 62 out of the 100-point PEI Index. Compared with the rest of the world, the United States ranks 52nd worldwide. Pippa Norris, Why American Elections Are Flawed (And How to Fix Them) © 2018 Kwiple.com
