Double direct election
- ... that in a double direct election, individuals are elected as representatives for two tiers of government in one election?

Moved to mainspace by Mindmatrix (talk). Self nominated at 17:58, 25 January 2015 (UTC).
I'm a bit confused. Is this where a person is elected with a dual mandate in one direct election? Would either of the following (hypothetically) apply:
- Scenario 1: a person wins a direct election for two posts (local and parliamentary) and serves as a local councillor and a Member of Parliament
- Scenario 2: a person wins two direct elections (local and parliamentary) held at the same time and serves as a local councillor and a Member of Parliament

- Okay, I asked because I wanted to clarify some doubts about verification. Two points before a full review:
- The section on China refers to this source on page 148. The passage describes the potential for direct elections for both LegCo and the Chief Exec in Hong Kong (currently the former is partially direct, the latter is elected by an appointed group of ~1,200). But in each case the elections are seperate and tend not to occur at the same time. That seems to contradict what you've written above.
- Would you consider renaming this "Double direct elections in Canada"? Save the last sentence, the article seems rather Canada-centric and I'd prefer not to slap an orange tag on it.
