The General Assembly,

Noting the inviolable right of sovereign nations to choose their own form of government,

Hereby:

1) Acknowledges the exclusive right of member nations to legislate on all matters pertaining to elections within their jurisdictions which have not already been legislated upon by extant international law,

2) Urges member nations to ensure that only those entitled to vote are granted access to polling stations,

3) Clarifies that nothing in this resolution requires or encourages member nations to hold elections for any public office.

The resolution reaffirms the sovereign right of each nation to choose its form of government, while granting the exclusive power to legislate on electoral matters to nations that hold elections (in matters not covered by current international legislation). However, being somewhat vague as to the methods for achieving this, it represents a double-edged sword. Current legislation does not cover all aspects required for the holding of free and fair elections, and that passing this resolution would block any future attempts to legislate on electoral matters, including those seeking to cover existing loopholes and/or to guarantee the transparency of electoral processes at all stages.

For these reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote against the resolution.

Was probably campaigned for. If NS is still anything like what it used to be, its ridiculously easy to get something to quorum.

I'm amazed that this excuse of a resolution was proposed by a GA SECRETARIAT MEMBER.

Against.
 
Against.

I do not like it for the simple fact that it is vague, to the point of being empty on purpose. To approve such a resolution would only block future attempts to improve existing electoral legislation (improvements that would be necessary, since the existing legislation does not cover all aspects to be considered).
 
Against.

Not defined what 'polling station' is. How about international observers, etc.
 
Voting on this resolution has ended.

Thanks to those nations who cast their votes. Your participation is a great help to the region.
