1994 electoral reform
The 1994 electoral reform refers to significant changes in the electoral system in various countries, notably South Africa. In South Africa, it marked the end of apartheid, transitioning from a system that discriminated based on race to one that allowed all citizens, regardless of race, to vote in free and fair elections. This reform established a new democratic government and aimed to promote equality and social justice. In other contexts, electoral reforms in 1994 may include changes to voting systems intended to enhance representation and fairness in elections, but South Africa's transition is the most prominent example worldwide.
