Electoral flotsam and jetsam
The University of Western Australia has updated its database of elections, governments, parties and representation for Australian state and federal parliaments since 1890. You can search the database by elections (Commonwealth. state and territory; and by upper and lower house), governments (Commonwealth. state and territory; and first minister), and parties (name, date and type).
The Commonwealth Parliamentary Library has published an e-brief on elections around the world in 2006. The e-brief covers all elections held in the Pacific region, but coverage is selective for Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
