A central feature of the Danish electoral system is that districts at all levels are delimited according to the boundaries of other administrative units, i.e the counties. Since the mulit-member constituencies correspond exactly to the administrative counties, except in the metropolitan area where 3 artificial multi-member constituencies have been constructed, district delimitation issues are virtually absent from the Danish political debate.

The French overseas departments (Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Réunion) elects candidates to the French Senate and House of Representatives. The overseas departments follow the same rules as the metropole regarding the organization of the elections. They do however enjoy certain specificities concerning electoral expenditure : certain travel expenses of the candidates are not taken into account in the ceiling of candidates' election expenses (article L.52-12 of the electoral code). Besides, the French Parliament is discussing a bill which would allow elections to be held on Saturday in Guadeloupe, Martinique and Guiana (because of the time lag, people from these departments knew the results of the elections in the metropole before they voted).

International Mission for Monitoring Haitian Elections, final report 2006:
"The territorial delineation process is based primarily on the 1987 Constitution and the Electoral Decree of February 3, 2005. The Constitution states that each municipal community constitutes an electoral district that elects a deputy, limits the number of senators to three per department and entrusts the organization and supervision of elections to the Permanent Electoral Council. The Electoral Decree determines the list of departments (10), electoral districts (99) and communes (139). Despite the 1987 Constitution (Chapter 2, Title V), the Electoral Decree list includes several electoral districts made up of two, and sometimes even three, communes. Except for the city of Port-au-Prince, nowhere else is there another large population cluster with more than one deputy.
The Haitian legal context has two features that made it difficult in the past to achieve the objective of demographic equality of districts. On the one hand, the Constitution associates an equal number of elected members to territorial entities (three senators per department; one deputy per local community) with populations of sometimes very unequal sizes. On the other hand, the election laws do not specify the criteria to be used to create new districts. This legal void has had a negative impact. The majority of new districts formed between 1995 and 2005 (12 of 16) were created by dividing already over-represented districts, which emphasized the existing demographic imbalance among electoral units in Haiti."

The French overseas departments (Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Réunion) elects candidates to the French Senate and House of Representatives. The overseas departments follow the same rules as the metropole regarding the organization of the elections. They do however enjoy certain specificities concerning electoral expenditure : certain travel expenses of the candidates are not taken into account in the ceiling of candidates' election expenses (article L.52-12 of the electoral code). Besides, the French Parliament is discussing a bill which would allow elections to be held on Saturday in Guadeloupe, Martinique and Guiana (because of the time lag, people from these departments knew the results of the elections in the metropole before they voted).

The French overseas departments (Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Réunion) elects candidates to the French Senate and House of Representatives. The overseas departments follow the same rules as the metropole regarding the organization of the elections. They do however enjoy certain specificities concerning electoral expenditure : certain travel expenses of the candidates are not taken into account in the ceiling of candidates' election expenses (article L.52-12 of the electoral code). Besides, the French Parliament is discussing a bill which would allow elections to be held on Saturday in Guadeloupe, Martinique and Guiana (because of the time lag, people from these departments knew the results of the elections in the metropole before they voted).
