Vote Against GA resolution National Control of Elections
Ministry Review
Written by Rumata
The language of this resolution is so poor that it actually subverts its own intent. The first clause is essentially meaningless because it simply reaffirms the right of nations to conduct their own elections as long as they abide by existing international law. The second clause would potentially restrict civil rights in many nations. Although the author uses the word "electors," the clause seems to be talking about voters. Many nations do not require voter registration at all.
For these reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote against the resolution.
