electoral reform  

Définition

  • Electoral reform is the change of some element of an electoral system, including suffrage rights, the size or number of seats in the assembly, the magnitude or number of seats in the districts, the formula to allocate seats or make a winner, and the ballot form permitting or restricting the voters' choice of parties and candidates. In the long term, major electoral reforms have expanded suffrage rights, replaced indirect elections with direct elections by majority rule, and done the latter with mixed systems and proportional representation rules.
