Abstract

The authoress expounds the meaning and function of elections
in three types of political systems. She indicates that elections as
a formalized procedure or a standardized one are also carried out
in political systems which are not democratically structurized.
However, these elections lack the element of electing because the
vater does not have the opportunity and freedom to choose
amongst more candidates and different political parties due to the
fact that they do not exist. In the second part of the paper electaral
systems are discussed as well as their key structural elements
which have major import on the outcome of the elections. Further
on, the authoress indicates the effects of certain types of political
systems on the party-system and also on the stability of the
government and political system.
