Adam,

You might also try the The International Foundation for Election Systems
(IFES), which has a compendium of election laws for francophone Africa and
the British Commonwealth Office in London, which has a two-volume compendium
of election laws for anglophone countries.

Cheers

Adam --

There is a lot, though many gaps exist in our knowledge of other
systems.  
Good places to begin are:

Gary Cox, Making Votes Count.
Dieter Nohlen, several new books on election law in different areas
published 
by Oxford UP.
Josep Colomer, The Handbook of Electoral System Design, forthcoming.

ACE has a web site and allows you to query it about lots of election
law.  You might also try IDEA in Sweden.

Best, FL

Folks,

Does anyone know of any references/resources that survey and compare
election law in the world's democracies?

Thanks for any input.
