(1977-Present)

[email protected]

The World Elections Commission shall prepare a provisional global map of World Electoral and Administrative Districts and Regions which may be revised during the first or second operative stage of World Government, and shall prepare and proceed with plans to obtain the election of Members of the World Parliament to the House of Peoples and to the House of Counsellors. The World Elections Commission shall in due course be converted into the World Boundaries and Elections Administration.

Section 2.02 of Article 19 of the Constitution for the Federation of Earth (CFoE)

The World Elections Commission (WEC) has a critical role in the formation and operation of the World Government (WG)'s global government structure:

  • Global Mapping and Planning:
    • The Commission is tasked with preparing an initial global map of World Electoral and Administrative Districts (WEADs)1 and Regions worldwide. This map is provisional and subject to potential revisions during the early stages of the establishing world government.
    • It's responsible for planning the election process for the World Parliament (WP), which consists of the House of Peoples and the House of Counsellors.
  • Ratification and Referendum: After a specific time frame (six months), if certain national governments haven't responded positively to the call for ratification2, the Ratification Commission and the World Elections Commission can collaborate to facilitate the ratification of the Constitution for the Federation of Earth (CFoE) through direct popular referendums3 in countries and simultaneously organize the election of World Parliament Members.

In essence, the World Elections Commission operates in the provisional stage of the World Government's governing structure, focusing on electoral matters such as district mapping, parliamentary elections, and extending its scope to managing boundaries. It also collaborates with the Ratification Commission to ensure the ratification of the Constitution for the Federation of Earth (CFoE) through direct public voting in countries that might not have initially responded to ratification calls.

Transition and Evolution:

The Commission's function is expected to evolve over time. Initially focused on elections, it will transform into the World Boundaries and Elections Administration (WBEA) of the Integrative Complex (IC), taking on a broader role that includes defining and managing global boundaries alongside election administration.

Footnotes:

1. Electoral boundaries are demarcations within a country or combination of the countries that determine the divisions for electoral purposes. They define constituencies or districts for the fair representation of the population in elections. These boundaries are purely for electoral organization and do not necessarily correspond to physical borders or the geopolitical boundaries of a country.

2. Ratification is the formal approval or acceptance of a law, treaty, agreement, or constitutional amendment by a designated authority, such as a legislative body, a specified group of representatives, or personal ratifiers.

3. A referendum is a direct vote by the citizens of a country or jurisdiction on a specific issue, law, or policy change. It allows the general population to express their opinion or make a decision on the matter at hand.
