Proportional Non-Voter Sortition
Democratic electoral systems characteristically take a Count-and-Report Approach to enfranchised citizens’ failure to turn out in political elections: The number of non-votes is counted and publicly reported, but non-votes are given no effect in the allocation of political offices. We morally assess this model in the context of legislative elections, and argue that it is pro tanto less desirable than another, counterfactual model which we label P…
Geographic Legislative Constituencies
Many democracies use geographic constituencies to elect some or all of their legislators. Furthermore, many people regard this as desirable in a noncomparative sense, thinking that local constituencies are not necessarily superior to other schemes but are nevertheless attractive when considered on their own merits. Yet, this position of noncomparative constituency localism is now under philosophical pressure as local constituencies have recently …
Legislative expatriate representation
Democracies that appoint legislators through elections in territorially defined, sub-national constituencies and simultaneously enfranchise expatriate citizens must either assign expatriate voters to in-country constituencies (assimilated representation) or group them into distinct overseas constituencies that elect their own legislators (discrete representation). This essay critically reviews extant normative discussions of the two models and de…

Public Caravan Sites for British Gypsy Travellers
Should British authorities provide the traditionally nomadic Gypsy Travellers with caravan sites so that they may conserve an itinerant way of life? This article addresses the question from a distinctively moral perspective. It shows that public site provision is not supported by the influential minority rights theory of Kymlicka, but can be justified with an argument from expropriatory compensation. This affirms that nineteenth and twentieth cen…
The right to vote and nomadic voter enrolment
What model of voter enrolment is appropriate for states with nomadic minority populations? The present paper examines this question with reference to an equality-based, moral right to vote and considers four models that track some of the different institutional strategies that have been developed by states with transient populations. The paper shows that the right to vote is compatible neither with a model that makes permanent residence in a cons…
