Elections are central and defining characteristics of democracy. Electoral systems are a crucial link in the chain that links citizens preferences to governments. While most of the polls focus on voting behavior, a significant number of polls evaluate electoral systems as systemic variables. This course is concerned with the main electoral systems, their historical origins and political consequences. The course will examine the changes between different electoral rules and regulations, the relationship between electoral system selection and the forms of representation and party system and their political consequences will be discussed.
