Latvia: Game over for the ‘Wagon system’ in Saeima elections (The Baltic Times, 2010)
“In October of this year, the election system in Latvia for the first time will have a chance to prove its gains,” says political scientist Veiko Spolitis. Due to the action of the Electoral Reform Society, this will be the first year when candidates will be allowed to run only in one electoral district, says Spolitis. In all previous parliamentary elections, one candidate was able to run in all five election areas - Vidzeme, Zemgale, Kurzems, Latgale and Riga.
