This study examines the mechanisms through which the ruling party won a plurality of votes using a combination of legal changes and manipulative practices during the 2012 parliamentary election in Ukraine. Legal changes in electoral rules—the replacement of proportional representation to a mixed system—helped the ruling party weaken the opposition parties. These changes enabled the ruling party to engage in manipulation and fraud during campaigning and on election day by suppressing competition, crowding out the races with "technical" parties and "clone" candidates, and manipulating the composition of electoral commissions. The change of electoral system also enabled outright fraud on election day. A combination of these techniques disrupted both the contestation and participation dimensions of democracy, effectively pushing Ukraine into a state of competitive authoritarianism.

Between 20 and 22 May 2014, over five million Malawians participated in the fifth election since the re-introduction of multiparty politics in 1994. For the first time since 1994 voters simultaneously cast ballots for president, members of parliament, and local government councilors. Turnout was consistent with earlier multiparty presidential and parliamentary elections, with 71% of registered voters casting votes. Although election day passed peacefully at most polling centers, there were isolated cases of violence in Malawi's two largest cities of Blantyre and Lilongwe as voters protested shortages of voting materials at several polling stations. This forced the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) to extend voting for an additional two days in 45 of 4445 polling centers. [Copyright Elsevier Ltd.]

The 2012 Constituency Commission report has recommended a reduction in the number of Dail deputies from 166 to 158 and the number of general election constituencies from 43 to 40, while bringing about changes - some very fundamental in scope - to the majority of the existing Dail constituencies. These changes are detailed in this article, while being placed in the context of previous electoral boundary amendments throughout the history of the Irish state and the processes employed in other states, such as the United Kingdom. The oft quoted contention that the 2012 boundary revisions are the most considerable in scope since those of 1980 is tested and proven with reference to the use of the Kavanagh index of constituency change (KICC scores), with these KICC scores also employed to highlight the regions and constituencies that have been most prone to boundary amendments over the past three decades.
