Vote For GA resolution Promoting Democratic Stability Act
Resolution Analysis
Overview
The at-vote General Assembly resolution, "Promoting Democratic Stability Act", provides an outline for basic rights with regards to an election and other ballots/referenda. It makes it so that no individual may be forced to disclose who or what they voted for, and to vote in privacy, as well as creating regulations for not being able to discriminate against somebody based on how they voted, including not voting. On top of this, it reaffirms the right for people to not be discriminated against in the voting process based on arbitrary characteristics, including but not limited to race, gender, and disability. It then utilized the Office of Electoral Administration to oversee elections, should nations request it, and look into violations of these electoral policies and other misconduct related to voting.
Recommendation
The resolution does a good job of creating a lot of provisions - it is a sensible, straight-forward resolution. The clauses do not do anything so ambitious as to create a burden, but merely ensures that everyone within democracies has a fair voice when it comes to determining power structures and policy. One of the biggest worries with a resolution such as this is that it will put democracies at a disadvantage to autocracies, but the author does a good job with avoiding this. Overall, this is a good, sensible piece of legislation that serves as a fine replacement for GAR#130. For the above reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote For the General Assembly Resolution at vote, "Promoting Democratic Stability Act".
