Elections have been very quiet over the summer. So here instread are a selection of my favourite recommended resources for finding election data on the net.
International resources.

It contains an encyclopedia, election calendars and extensive country level information. The latter includes information on electoral systems, results, analyses and examples of electoral materials produced by the nation.
