This annual report highlights IDEA's objectives and main activities in 2005
From the Welcome by IDEA Board Chairperson Lena Hjelm-Wallén, former Deputy Prime Minister and former Minister for Foreign Affairs of Sweden:
"IDEA does not claim to have the recipe for making democracy, but as an organization we provide much needed information and knowledge so that countries can select the right ingredients for themselves in order to deepen their own democratic processes, institutions and culture.
2005 saw, for example, the publication of an entirely revised and updated version of Electoral Systems Design: The New International IDEA Handbook. As one enthusiastic reviewer stated, it is ‘simply the best single source of information and advice on electoral system design'."
