Comment: Legitimizing Gerrymandering in the Harari Regional State Contrary to the Principle of Equality of Votes

The National Election Board of Ethiopia (NEBE) had rejected the request to enable ethnic-Hararis who reside outside Harari Regional State to vote in the election of Harari National Council members. The Board stated that it is not bound by prior practices that do not have constitutional foundation. The Board further noted that accepting such demand would jeopardize the fairness and impartiality of the Board against other minority ethnic groups whose members reside outside their national state. NEBE argued that article 50(2) of the Harari Constitution contradicts the provision of article 50(3) of the FDRE Constitution. However, based on the Harari National Council’s petition to the Federal Supreme Court, the decision of NEBE has been reversed, and this has been further affirmed by the FSC Cassation Division. This comment examines the legal foundation and propriety of the decisions of the Federal Supreme Court and the FSC Cassation Division. Inter alia, the FSC Cassation Division has misinterpreted a provision under article 50(2) of the Harari Regional State Constitution that expressly refers to the right to be candidate in elections at place of birth as opposed to voting rights irrespective of residence.

State Constitution-Making

This chapter describes the constitution-making by the thirteen independent republics. Most of them created bicameral legislatures, single executives, and independent judiciaries.

At the same time, the Americans established written constitutions that were different from and superior to the institutions of government and they worked out devices (constitutional conventions) for creating these constitutions. Several of the constitutions had bills of rights.
