Election Update 2005 Tanzania No 2

“In this update, particular attention will be given to events and issues during the
run up to elections and during the campaign,
focusing on relevant electoral processes such as the delimitation of constituencies, civic and voter education, voter registration, nominations of candidates by the different parties, and the campaigning
process. Every election system needs to provide for the organisation of constituency
boundaries. This includes establishing boundaries, determining the criteria,
frequency and circumstances under which boundary sizes might change; and authorising the final plan for electoral units. All this is necessary to ensure not only equality of voting power, but in addition, establishes the territorial basis of those elected.”
