Democracies include arrangements which facilitate collective or social decision making in the formal public arena (Cohen, 2001, p.49; Geddis, 2003, p.53).1 These arrangements, established and supported by legal systems, comprise various ‘institutions, practices, and procedures’ (Geddis, 2003, p.53). They include voting rights, rules for the organisation of elections (voter eligibility, electoral or representation systems, electoral finance) and the framework for decision making by the legislature and executive (Cohen, 2001, p.49).
