VOTER REGISTRATION [1 record]

Record 1 2004-05-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electoral Systems and Political Parties
CONT

As there are no tangible benefits to be derived by the public from electoral registration per se and as the only penalty is disfranchisement, voluntary registration does not provide good coverage and timeliness.

OBS

Strictly speaking, "voter" refers to a person who actually exercises the right to vote.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Systèmes électoraux et partis politiques
CONT

Étant donné que le public ne trouve aucun intérêt réel dans l'inscription électorale en soi et que la seule sanction est la privation du droit de vote, l'inscription volontaire n'assure pas que les listes [électorales] soient complètes et à jour.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Sistemas electorales y partidos políticos
