<br/><br/>Most South Asian Countries-following independence from British rule in the late nineteen forties and in the case of Nepal, liberation from the autocracy of one family group in 1950-have enjoyed democratic systems of governance at least some time or the other, often for extended periods of time. Electoral processes have, however, been found wanting to greater or lesser extents in all these countries. Electoral malpractices are of critical concern to all South Asian countries.
