| | Membership of the Diet is open to citizens who are at least twenty-five in the case of the House of Representatives and thirty in the case of the upper house, and no one may be a member of both houses at the same time. | | | Each house elects its own presiding officer who exercises the casting vote in the event of a tie. | | | Every member of the Cabinet has the right to appear in either house of the Diet for the purpose of speaking on bills, and each house has the right to compel the appearance of Cabinet members. |

| | Sealed parallel election ballots were counted at KGTV's studio with a TV camera crew filming the counting process.Nearly 50 percent of all voters participated in the parallel election, which included five polling places representing 11 precincts. | | | It was found that early, absentee and election day voting were all used to cast double votes in 41 cases. | | | The same model of voting machine (Unilect Patriot) that lost 4,438 votes in Carteret County also erased votes in three Pennsylvania counties, officials in that state said. |

| | In a parallel study, two states are selected, alike as possible in terms of socio-economic and cultural factors, differing most notably in that State A has the death penalty and State B does not. | | | Very soon after the election, a “quick and dirty” comparison could be produced of the Bush-Kerry vote split in the 30% e-voting states, counties and precincts, on the one hand, and the split in the 70% of “other” returns. | | | I heard someone say that the difference between Democrats and Republicans this year, is that the Democrats are working to get people to vote, and Republicans are desperately trying to keep people from voting. |

| | Parallel voting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Parallel voting describes a mixed voting system where voters in effect participate in two separate elections using different systems, and where the results in one election have little or no impact on the results of the other. | | | A criticism of proportional voting systems, is that the largest parties need to rely on the support of smaller ones in order to form a government. | | | Therefore, a party that secured say 5 per cent of the vote will have only 5 per cent of the list seats, and not 5 per cent of all the seats in the legislature. |

| | Douglas W. Jones on Testing Voting Systems |
| | The calibration should be tested in terms of pencil marks even in jurisdictions that use black markers, because it is inevitable that some voters will use pencils, particularly when markers go dry in voting booths or when ballots are voted by mail. | | | The laws or administrative rules governing this testing vary considerably from state to state. | | | Clearly, where the machines themselves hold the evidence of the vote count, as with mechanical lever voting machines or direct-recording electronic voting machines, this evidence must not be destroyed until law and prudence agree that it is no longer relevant to any potential legal challenge to the election. |
