Electoral District Of Light
An election is a formal group decision-making process by which a population chooses an individual or multiple individuals to hold public office. Elections have been the usual mechanism by which modern representative democracy has operated since the 17th century. Elections may fill offices in the legislature, sometimes in the executive and judiciary, and for regional and local government. This process is also used in many other private and business organisations, from clubs to voluntary associations and corporations. The global use of elections as a tool for selecting representatives in modern representative democracies is in contrast with the practice in the democratic archetype, ancient Athens, where the elections were considered an oligarchic institution and most political offices were filled using sortition, also known as allotment, by which officeholders were chosen by lot. Electoral reform describes the process of introducing fair electoral systems where they are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Andrew Wells (judge)
Andrew Wells is a fictional character in the television series '' Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' and ''Angel'', played by Tom Lenk. The character also appears in ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight'', the canonical continuation of the series. Character history Andrew Wells is the younger brother of Tucker Wells, who summoned hellhounds to attack the Prom in the Season Three episode "The Prom".

At some point during Buffy's senior year in high school, he summoned "flying demon monkeys" to attack Sunnydale High's production of ''Romeo and Juliet'', apparently for no other reason than to amuse himself.
