The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

South Africa Votes! Professionalising elections 1997 – 2011 by Electoral Commission of South Africa.

Although South Africa’s 1994 and 1999-96 elections brought democracy, they were hurriedly put together and technically far from perfect. This book tells the story in words and pictures of how election administration has evolved.
