Separate elections for different parliamentary and provincial positions. You are voted in to be president. Term limits - 8 year for presidents (obama cannot run for a third term) Amendment 22 sec. 1) no person shall be elected to the of ce of the president more than twice. Some argue shorter term limits would allow politicians to actually focus on the state rather than their own career. To make sure presidential candidates don"t set the election during times they know they can win (call the election when the business cycle is up = the stronger the economy, the more likely you are to win) Multi-level ballot - different governmental positions are being voted for at the same time as the presidency.
