Answer:

Advantages and disadvantages of sub-municipal wards

This question is posted on behalf of Maija Karjalainen, Ministry of Justice, Finland

As stated in the Democracy at the Local Level - International IDEA Handbook, "Many municipal electoral systems feature a ‘ward’ (small district), neighbourhood or sub-municipal system of electoral boundary delimitation. This can be beneficial in terms of ensuring representation, but it can also be problematic when minorities within these sub-municipal boundaries are not fully represented." (International IDEA 2001, 127.)

Finland is in the process of reforming the structure of local government which will most likely result in fewer but bigger municipalities within the next few years. The government is now trying to identify possible ways to strengthen representation and democracy as the decisions become ever more distant from an individual citizen. In order to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of the system of sub-municipal wards I would therefore like to ask the experts the following questions:

1. In addition to Sweden*, do you know any other countries where sub-municipal electoral wards are used?

2. What are the experiences of the system in these countries?

- Specifically, how does the division into sub-municipal boundaries affect the functioning and effectiveness of the decision-making process in the municipal council?

- Does it affect the legitimacy of the political unit (for example after a major merger of municipalities)?

- Does it enable the representation of minorities in the municipal council?
