Wallsend is a Newcastle suburban electorate, deriving its name from the suburb of the same name, covering 116.83km². It encompasses part or whole of the suburbs of Beresfield, Birmingham Gardens, Black Hill, Callaghan, Cardiff, Cardiff Heights, Elermore Vale, Fletcher, Glendale, Hexham, Jesmond, Lambton, Lenaghan, Maryland, Minmi, New Lambton, New Lambton Heights, Newcastle University, North Lambton, Rankin Park, Shortland, Tarro, Wallsend, Waratah and Waratah West. There were 56,506 people enrolled within the electorate as of January 2015.
History
Wallsend was initially settled as a coal mining area and has developed into one of the poorer dormitory areas for the industrial hub of Newcastle. Throughout its history Wallsend has been a safe Labor seat.
It was first created in 1894 with the abolition of multi-member districts from part of the electoral district of Newcastle, but was abolished in 1904 with the reduction of the size of the Legislative Assembly after Federation. It was recreated between 1917 but with the introduction of proportional representation in 1920, it was absorbed into Newcastle. In 1930, it was abolished and partly replaced by Waratah. It was finally recreated, largely from the district of Kurri Kurri, at the 1968 redistribution.
An electoral district in Canada, also known as a "constituency" or a "riding", is a geographical constituency upon which Canada's representative democracy is based. It is officially known in Canadian French as a circonscription, but frequently called a comté (county).
While electoral districts in Canada are now exclusively single-member districts, multiple-member districts have been used at the federal and provincial levels. Alberta has had a few districts that returned from two to seven members: see Calgary, Edmonton and Medicine Hat. British Columbia had a mix of multiple-member districts in Vancouver and single-member districts elsewhere until the 1991 election, and Prince Edward Island had dual-member districts until the 1996 election.
Wallsend, historically Wallsend on Tyne, is an area in North Tyneside, Tyne and Wear, North East of England. Wallsend derives its name as the location of the end of Hadrian's Wall. It has a population of 42,842 and lies 3.5 miles east of Newcastle City Centre. The population of the Wallsend ward of the North Tyneside Borough was at the 2011 census 10,304.
History
Romans
In Roman times, Wallsend hosted the fort Segedunum. This fort protected the eastern end of Hadrian's Wall, which terminated at the western wall of the fort.
Wallsend was occupied by the Romans for around 330 years from A.D. 81 to A.D. 410.
Pre-Conquest
The withdrawal of the Romans from the Wall immediately brought the Picts from the north and shortly after the Angles, sailing from near the mouth of the Elbe with frequent raids coming both from sea and land.
Ida the Saxon laid waste to the whole of the north in 547 and Wallsend doubtless suffered in the general devastation. It was not until the golden age of Northumberland under Edwin, and the subsequent introduction of the Christian faith by King Oswald (635-642) and Aidan that Wallsend enjoyed a time of peace and progress. This time of peace came to an abrupt end in 794 when the Danes swarmed up the Tyne in great number.
The years preceding the coming of William of Normandy were a struggle between Danes and Saxons striving for mastery.
Canada election: How are federal electoral districts determined?
The 2019 federal election is underway and all parties have launched campaigns in their drive to be the next government of Canada.
Parliament was dissolved on Sept. 11, which gave the Liberals, the Conservatives, the NDP, the Greens, and the Bloc Quebecois 40 days to try to convince voters they are the right choice.
During elections, we always hear about which ridings we should be watching, or which ones are likely to vote for certain parties. But have you ever stopped to think how those ridings are formed in the first place?

On June 13th Koreans will head to the polls for local elections.

Given this is the first election to be held since President Moon Jae-in took power last year,... watchers say the June election will be a barometer of the administration's popularity.
Kim Min-ji reports.
The National Assembly on Monday passed a long overdue redistricting bill for the June 13th local elections.
By law, the electoral map has to be finalized six months prior to the election -- meaning December 13th last year -- but political wrangling kept lawmakers from having the bill ready on time.
The new map adds a combined 27 more positions for city and provincial councilors -- except for Jeju Special Self-Governing Province and the administrative city of Sejong -- for a total of 690 posts.
As for council members -- there will be 29 more posts for a nationwide total of 2,927.
That's more than 3,600 positions up for grabs,... not counting the key posts of mayor, governor and education superintendent in 17 cities and provinces.
A mini general election is also in the works... as about 10 parliamentary seats are going to be vacant --
with some lawmakers giving up their posts to run for local office plus some who have been stripped of their position.
"With just three months left, the priorities of the rival parties will be to field the best possible candidates in hopes of at least keeping the posts they have now -- or if they're lucky, adding new ones. On top of that, it's the first nationwide poll under the Moon Jae-in administration -- meaning the results will be a barometer of how the public assesses the young government."
Preliminary registration is open for candidates running for mayor, district office chief, education superintendent and local councilor.
Registration for county council members will start in April.
Once registered,... candidates can start campaigning,... open their election offices,... and start sending material to voters in their constituencies.

In the US, if you run for president, it does not actually matter how many people in the country vote for you.

It’s the reason presidential candidates almost never campaign in the country’s biggest cities. And more recently, it’s also the reason that Republican candidates have been able to eke out victories in the presidential election without actually getting the most votes.
The Electoral College makes some Americans’ votes more powerful than others. In fact, that’s part of the reason we have it to begin with; in the country’s early years, the Electoral College helped give the votes of Southern Whites more weight than the votes of Northerners. The idea at its core, that certain votes simply matter more than others, is baked into the American tradition. In our elections, it decides the winner.

Impending changes to Canada's electoral map prompts divisive reaction
Canada's federal electoral map is being redrawn later this year, which will increase the number of seats from 338 to 343, while updating the boundaries of more than 270 existing ridings.
This update happens once per decade following each census, and the process is overseen by independent, non-partisan commissions.
David Akin breaks down some of the updates coming, and why the changes aren't popular with everyone.

An electoral district association has to fill certain positions before applying for registration. It must appoint: a chief executive officer, a financial agent and an auditor.
The registered association may also appoint electoral district agents to perform certain financial tasks.

The 2019 federal election is underway and all parties have launched campaigns in their drive to be the next government of Canada.
Parliament was dissolved on Sept. 11, which gave the Liberals, the Conservatives, the NDP, the Greens, and the Bloc Quebecois 40 days to try to convince voters they are the right choice.
During elections, we always hear about which ridings we should be watching, or which ones are likely to vote for certain parties. But have you ever stopped to think how those ridings are formed in the first place?

Canada's federal electoral map is being redrawn later this year, which will increase the number of seats from 338 to 343, while updating the boundaries of more than 270 existing ridings.
This update happens once per decade following each census, and the process is overseen by independent, non-partisan commissions.
David Akin breaks down some of the updates coming, and why the changes aren't popular with everyone.

An electoral district association has to fill certain positions before applying for registration. It must appoint: a chief executive officer, a financial agent and an auditor.
The registered association may also appoint electoral district agents to perform certain financial tasks.
In this module, we focus on the financial agent, electoral district agents and auditor, because they are the ones performing financial tasks.
Let’s take a closer look at the financial agent.
A registered association can have only one financial agent at a time.
The financial agent is responsible for administering the association’s financial transactions and for reporting them as required by the Canada Elections Act.
To ensure proper financial administration, the registered association should open a bank account to be used exclusively for the association’s finances. All monetary transactions should go through the bank account.
The financial agent and authorized electoral district agents can have signing authority to manage the account.
Let’s look closer at the electoral district agents. The registered association may appoint any number of electoral district agents to help the financial agent perform various financial tasks.
When informing Elections Canada about new electoral district agents, the registered association has to specify the terms and conditions of each appointment.
Now let’s discuss the main responsibilities of the financial agent and authorized electoral district agents.
They can accept contributions or loans on behalf of the registered association and they can issue receipts for contributions.
Note, however, that the registered association must obtain written authorization from the party leader before issuing tax receipts.
As well, the financial agent and authorized electoral district agents can incur or pay the registered association’s expenses.
But keep in mind that only the financial agent can do the following:
• transfer money, property or services to another entity or accept a transfer, and
• prepare and submit the association’s financial return.
Finally, let’s look at the role and responsibilities of the auditor.
While the registered association can have only one auditor, the same person can be the auditor for more than one registered association.
If, in a fiscal period, the registered association receives contributions totaling $10,000 or more, or incurs expenses totaling $10,000 or more, the auditor examines the association’s financial records and prepares a report stating the auditor’s opinion as to whether the association’s financial return presents fairly the information contained in the financial records on which it is based.
To learn more, please take a look at our other modules and resources.

국회, 광역의원 증원·선거구 획정 법안 '지각 처리'
On June 13th Koreans will head to the polls for local elections.
And better late than never,... rival lawmakers managed to pass a re-districting bill on Monday... the 100 day countdown to polling day.
Given this is the first election to be held since President Moon Jae-in took power last year,... watchers say the June election will be a barometer of the administration's popularity.
Kim Min-ji reports.
The National Assembly on Monday passed a long overdue redistricting bill for the June 13th local elections.
By law, the electoral map has to be finalized six months prior to the election -- meaning December 13th last year -- but political wrangling kept lawmakers from having the bill ready on time.
The new map adds a combined 27 more positions for city and provincial councilors -- except for Jeju Special Self-Governing Province and the administrative city of Sejong -- for a total of 690 posts.
As for council members -- there will be 29 more posts for a nationwide total of 2,927.
That's more than 3,600 positions up for grabs,... not counting the key posts of mayor, governor and education superintendent in 17 cities and provinces.
A mini general election is also in the works... as about 10 parliamentary seats are going to be vacant --
with some lawmakers giving up their posts to run for local office plus some who have been stripped of their position.
"With just three months left, the priorities of the rival parties will be to field the best possible candidates in hopes of at least keeping the posts they have now -- or if they're lucky, adding new ones. On top of that, it's the first nationwide poll under the Moon Jae-in administration -- meaning the results will be a barometer of how the public assesses the young government."
Preliminary registration is open for candidates running for mayor, district office chief, education superintendent and local councilor.
Registration for county council members will start in April.
Once registered,... candidates can start campaigning,... open their election offices,... and start sending material to voters in their constituencies.
Kim Min-ji, Arirang News.

The People's National Movement 's Kelvon Morris won the Darrel Spring/Whim Electoral District.
This, according to a statement from the Elections and Boundaries Commission (EBC) after recounts were done on the request of the Progressive Democratic Patriots for the Electoral District of Darrel Spring/Whim.
The PNM also requested a recount in the Electoral District of Buccoo/Mount Pleasant.
Thus, the preliminary results shows the Progressive Democratic Patriots winning the Tobago House of Assembly elections having captured 14 of the 15 Electoral Districts contested.
The EBC says there was a voter turn-out of 57% as 29,273 votes were cast from an electorate of 51,383.
Why some Americans’ votes count more than others.
Become a Vox member: https://www.vox.com/support-now
In the 2000 US presidential election, the Democratic candidate got half a million more votes than the Republican. The Democrat lost. Sixteen years later the same thing happened again. In the US, if you run for president, it does not actually matter how many people in the country vote for you. What matters instead is an arcane system for selecting America’s head of state called the Electoral College.
The Electoral College is the reason the US has something called “swing states,” and it’s the reason those places get to decide the future of the country. It’s the reason presidential candidates almost never campaign in the country’s biggest cities. And more recently, it’s also the reason that Republican candidates have been able to eke out victories in the presidential election without actually getting the most votes.
The Electoral College makes some Americans’ votes more powerful than others. In fact, that’s part of the reason we have it to begin with; in the country’s early years, the Electoral College helped give the votes of Southern Whites more weight than the votes of Northerners. The idea at its core, that certain votes simply matter more than others, is baked into the American tradition. In our elections, it decides the winner.
Further reading:
The historian Alexander Keyssar’s book “Why Do We Still Have the Electoral College?” takes you through the history and function of the Electoral College: https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674660151
For the bite-sized version of that history, Keyssar also wrote this piece in the New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/03/opinion/electoral-college-racism-white-supremacy.html
The Times also had a great interactive feature on where the 2020 candidates actually spent money: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/10/17/us/politics/trump-biden-campaign-ad-spending.html

Wallsend is a Newcastle suburban electorate, deriving its name from the suburb of the same name, covering 116.83km². It encompasses part or whole of the suburbs of Beresfield, Birmingham Gardens, Black Hill, Callaghan, Cardiff, Cardiff Heights, Elermore Vale, Fletcher, Glendale, Hexham, Jesmond, Lambton, Lenaghan, Maryland, Minmi, New Lambton, New Lambton Heights, Newcastle University, North Lambton, Rankin Park, Shortland, Tarro, Wallsend, Waratah and Waratah West. There were 56,506 people enrolled within the electorate as of January 2015.
History
Wallsend was initially settled as a coal mining area and has developed into one of the poorer dormitory areas for the industrial hub of Newcastle. Throughout its history Wallsend has been a safe Labor seat.
It was first created in 1894 with the abolition of multi-member districts from part of the electoral district of Newcastle, but was abolished in 1904 with the reduction of the size of the Legislative Assembly after Federation. It was recreated between 1917 but with the introduction of proportional representation in 1920, it was absorbed into Newcastle. In 1930, it was abolished and partly replaced by Waratah. It was finally recreated, largely from the district of Kurri Kurri, at the 1968 redistribution.
The 2019 federal election is underway and all parties have launched campaigns in their drive to be the next government of Canada.
Parliament was dissolved on Sept. 11, which gave the Liberals, the Conservatives, the NDP, the Greens, and the Bloc Quebecois 40 days to try to convince voters they are the right choice.
During elections, we always hear about which ridings we should be watching, or which ones are likely to vote for certain parties. But have you ever stopped to think how those ridings are formed in the first place?

This update happens once per decade following each census, and the process is overseen by independent, non-partisan commissions.

• transfer money, property or services to another entity or accept a transfer, and
• prepare and submit the association’s financial return.
Finally, let’s look at the role and responsibilities of the auditor.
While the registered association can have only one auditor, the same person can be the auditor for more than one registered association.
If, in a fiscal period, the registered association receives contributions totaling $10,000 or more, or incurs expenses totaling $10,000 or more, the auditor examines the association’s financial records and prepares a report stating the auditor’s opinion as to whether the association’s financial return presents fairly the information contained in the financial records on which it is based.
