Elections : a very short introduction / L. Sandy Maisel and Jennifer A. Yoder.

Summary:

"Elections: A Very Short Introduction focuses on the key concepts surrounding elections that occur in all democracies and non-democratic regimes. Elections, essentially, determine who will hold public office and who will have the power to govern. Moreover, all democracies do not function in the same way and so do their respective election system functions. The VSI then highlights how elections connect citizens to those whom they choose to make decisions on their behalf and who regulate their behavior. It examines a variety of voting and electoral systems before providing an overview of reforms under consideration in a number of countries"-- Provided by publisher.
