An electoral formula with biases cannot be considered democratic.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A democratic system can have an electoral formula with biases, as democracy primarily requires free and fair elections, but the specific electoral system used (e.g., first-past-the-post, proportional representation) can inherently contain biases towards certain outcomes or parties. The presence of biases does not automatically negate the democratic nature of the system as long as the core principles of democracy, such as political equality, participation, and contestation, are upheld.
