نتایج انتخابات ولسی جرګه سال ۲۰۰۵

(Greg is our political expert, and here offers a contrarian view of the election based on meetings with candidates. Update: See also a new video in our Multimedia section in which Greg discusses the pros and cons of the single non-transferable vote system.)

As we've noted before in previous analysis, one effect of the Single-Non Transferable Vote system, used in all of Afghanistan's parliamentary elections to date, is that candidates often win with very small shares of the vote in their respective provinces, since voters only receive one ballot for a multi-member constituency and coordinated party voting is very difficult.
