In 2017 only, the work of the Central Election Commission (CEC) was recognized with two international awards.1 The CEC Chairperson was also awarded in 2017 for her contribution to development of electoral processes.2 Such awards are indicative of success, however the question that remains is whether the work of the electoral adminis- tration was equally successful in all areas. Over the last two years the work of the electoral administration with regard to consideration of electoral complaints in the pre-election period was less than successful. Resolving election disputes the right way is a tool for creating fair and competitive electoral environment. The electoral administration, which is in charge of considering and deciding disputes envisaged by the legislation, plays an important role in this regard. It should establish the right practice, in compli- ance with the spirit and goals of the electoral legislation. With its decisions the electoral administration should help create high standard, as a precondition for creating equal electoral environment. Instead the electoral administration has failed to adequately address the chal- lenges raised by several precedent-setting cases. Its use of electoral norms is completely against the purpose of the electoral legislation. -

Repeating the feat against Inter's neighbours is a daunting-looking challenge, however, given Milan have won 15 of their last 18 UEFA Champions League home fixtures – including a 4-1 triumph against Bayern in the first knockout round last season. • Milan won through to their sixth successive quarter-final thanks to a 1-0 aggregate victory against Celtic FC in the first knockout round. After a goalless draw in Glasgow, the Rossoneri finally broke down Celtic's resistance through a Kaká goal three minutes into extra time in the return. It was the Brazilian's sixth UEFA Champions League goal of 2006/07. • Bayern overcame Real Madrid CF in the first knockout round, advancing on the away goals rule after a 4-4 aggregate draw. -

The Politics of Soccer Celebrity
Messi, Ronaldo, and the Politics of Celebrity Elections: Voting For the Best Soccer Player in the World Christopher J. Anderson London School of Economics and Political Science Luc Arrondel Paris School of Economics André Blais University of Montréal Jean-François Daoust McGill University Jean-François Laslier Paris School of Economics Karine Van der Straeten Toulouse School of Economics Abstract It is widely assumed that celebrities are imbued with political capital and the power to move opinion. To understand the sources of that capital in the specific domain of sports celebrity, we investigate the popularity of global soccer superstars. Specifically, we examine players’ success in the Ballon d’Or – the most high profile contest to select the world’s best player. Based on historical election results as well as an original survey of soccer fans, we find that certain kinds of players are significantly more likely to win the Ballon d’Or. Moreover, we detect an increasing concentration of votes on these kinds of players over time, suggesting a clear and growing hierarchy in the competition for soccer celebrity. Further analyses of support for the world’s two best players in 2016 (Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo) show that, if properly adapted, political science concepts like partisanship have conceptual and empirical leverage in ostensibly non-political contests.
