Basic Alternatives
During the current status of the democratic system development, the different choices of the electoral system are not the only basic alternatives in hand of whom are in charge of designing an electoral law.
Also can be considered:
-
electoral constituency election;
- electoral system determination;
- whether it should exist or not an electoral barrier;
- the concrete way of expression of the vote.
Additionally, indirect elections and semi-direct instruments are admissible as options; however, those limitations to the vote, tending to particularize it instead of been universal, as well as non-competitive unipartidist elections, should not be welcomed.
On the other hand, it is important to notice that even taking into account that the juridical tradition over which the legal framework is developed, does not depends on the design of the own framework, and therefore it should not be classified as a basic alternative, its location in this topic is due to its contextual importance.
