摘要：

In a democracy the constitutional structure and electoral laws provide the basic framework within which the nation's political life functions. An informed understanding of the constitutional and electoral components of this framework is required to fully comprehend the political dynamics of any democracy. However, academic knowledge of the electoral systems of the Americas has not kept pace with the recent growth in the number of functioning democracies in the region. This article partially fills this void by providing a description of the prominent dimensions of the electoral systems of 33 countries in the Americas since 1945.
