TELEPHONE: 1 800 463-6868 www.elections.ca © ELECTIONS CANADA 2002 ISSN 1488-3538 EC 91825 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PRINTED IN CANADA THE CHIEF ELECTORAL OFFICER’S MESSAGE Readjustment of Electoral Boundaries he delimitation of electoral districts is an important component of our parliamentary system. It determines T the territory and the people that each member of the House of Commons will represent. Our democracy is based on the principle of representation, and the delimitation of electoral districts is certainly one of its most obvious manifestations. For these reasons, we have chosen the current process of readjusting federal electoral boundaries as the theme for this edition Jean-Pierre Kingsley Chief Electoral Officer of Canada of Electoral Insight. Since this readjustment work occurs only once a decade, after every decennial census, to take account of the changes and movements in Canada’s population, it is important that we inform everyone affected about how the process works and the possible timetable for implementation. Barring delays, the new representation order should be proclaimed by July of 2003 and the new federal electoral boundaries would then come into effect at the next dissolution of Parliament taking place at least one year later. This minimum period of one year allows political parties, electoral administrators, candidates, and sitting members of the House of Commons time to adjust and set their machinery to work in accordance with the new electoral map. The number of electoral districts is to increase to 308, seven more than the current number. An important fact, not always realized by Canadians, is that neither the federal Parliament of the day nor Elections Canada decides the new district boundaries. Rather, the work of developing proposals for new boundaries that take into account the most recent census data and various other considerations is done by independent commissions (one for each province). They were given the census results I received from the Chief Statistician of Canada on March 12, 2002. Under the provisions of the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, Elections Canada provides a variety of professional, technical, administrative and financial services to the commissions. After public hearings and input from any interested Canadians including members of Parliament, the commissions make the final decisions. The 2001 Census determined that Canada’s population had increased almost 10 percent since 1991, to 30 007 094. The electoral district boundaries used for federal elections in Ontario are also adopted for use in provincial elections in that province. The federal electoral boundaries commissions are required by law to take into account considerations other than census data. Another major consideration must be “the community of interest or community of identity in or the historical pattern of an electoral district.” This edition includes summaries of papers presented on “community of interest” by three prominent academics at a conference, held in March of this year, for the newly-appointed chairmen, members and secretaries of the commissions. As always, I trust the articles in this edition will encourage discussion. I welcome your comments and suggestions for new topics to explore.

  • Donor Support to Electoral Cycles Siân Herbert GSDRC & K4D, University of Birmingham 24 February 2021
    Helpdesk Report Donor support to electoral cycles Siân Herbert GSDRC & K4D, University of Birmingham 24 February 2021 Questions What are the stages of an election cycle? How have donors been providing electoral assistance to developing countries throughout the cycle? Contents 1. Summary 2. The election cycle 3. Donor support to electoral cycles 4. References The K4D helpdesk service provides brief summaries of current research, evidence, and lessons learned. Helpdesk reports are not rigorous or systematic reviews; they are intended to provide an introduction to the most important evidence related to a research question. They draw on a rapid desk- based review of published literature and consultation with subject specialists. Helpdesk reports are commissioned by the UK Department for International Development and other Government departments, but the views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of DFID, the UK Government, K4D or any other contributing organisation. For further information, please contact [email protected]. 1. Summary This rapid literature review explains the stages of an election cycle, and how donors provide support to electoral cycles. It draws mainly on policy guidance websites and papers due to the questions of this review and the level of analysis taken (global-level, donor-level). It focuses on publications from the last five years, and/or current/forthcoming donor strategies. The electoral cycle and its stages are well established policy concepts for which there is widespread acceptance and use. Donor support to electoral cycles (through electoral assistance and electoral observation) is extremely widespread, and the dominant donors in this area are the multilateral organisations like the United Nations (UN) and the European Union (EU), and also the United States (US).

  • Maritime Boundaries Delimitation, Management and Dispute Resolution
    MARITIME BOUNDARIES DELIMITATION, MANAGEMENT AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION DELIMITATION OF THE MOZAMBIQUE MARITIME BOUNDARIES WITH NEIGHBOURING STATES (INCLUDING THE EXTENDED CONTINENTAL SHELF) AND THE MANAGEMENT OF OCEAN ISSUES ELÍSIO BENEDITO JAMINE The United Nations and Nippon Fellowship Programme 2006-2007 Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea Office of Legal Affairs United Nations, NY, USA ABSTRACT The Law of the Sea Convention (LOSC) establishes the jurisdictional regimes under which a coastal State can claim, manage, and utilize its ocean resources. With an increasing recognition of the need to administer competing resource use interests in the ocean and seabed, and the requirement to ensure sustainable exploitation of these resources, Mozambique has an ambitious program for the establishment of its maritime boundaries, including the outer limits of its extended Continental Shelf (CS). Mozambique faces the problem of lack of delimitation and negotiation of the maritime boundaries, connected to the lack of a comprehensive framework for management of maritime issues, lack of appropriate technology to quantify, qualify, and exploit the resources that lie in the sea, and lack of means by which to exercise and guarantee its sovereign rights. These problems obstruct the Mozambican State, as a sovereign subject of international law of the sea (LOS), from being able to take independent initiatives in pursuit of her internal and external policy objectives. The lack of delimitation of the maritime boundaries appears as a constraint for the State. Mozambique is not in a position to exercising all her rights and duties in accordance with LOSC with respect to jurisdiction and the exercise of sovereignty in these spaces.

  • IFES Report Recommends Changes to Yemen's Election
    MEDIA RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE USE CONTACT: Paul Harris, Country Director [email protected] IFES Report Recommends Changes to Yemen’s Election Law SANA’A – April 19, 2005 – IFES-Yemen has submitted a report to the Supreme Commission for Elections and Referendum (SCER) recommending significant changes to Yemen’s election law. IFES-Yemen Country Director Dr. Paul Harris said that the country’s 2003 parliamentary elections are recognized as a significant improvement on previous elections. However, they also suggested that amendments need to be made to the election law before the presidential and local council elections scheduled for 2006 and the parliamentary elections due in 2009. These amendments should improve the impartiality and transparency of the electoral process and deal with a number of omissions, procedural gaps and technical issues in the law. The report is the result of a year-long process of consultations and discussions with the SCER, with representatives of 13 political parties and with local and domestic NGOs. This transparent, participatory approach to law reform helps strengthen democratic governance. IFES provided a neutral venue for group representatives to express concerns about necessary changes to the law and suggest improvements. The report contains a total of 56 recommendations for amendments to the law or for action by the SCER. It covers the composition of election committees, voter registration, boundary delimitation, candidate nominations, voting and counting processes, election campaigns and finance, local council elections, and other matters. The report also contains a draft election law which incorporates the changes recommended in the report. The report is available in Arabic and English on the IFES website (www.ifes.org).
