ARTHUR MCDOUGALL FUND

To increase public knowledge/understanding of the operations of electoral democracy. Major focus on voting systems, elections, representative institutions. Encouraging research & information dissemination; 'REPRESENTATION Journal of Representative Democracy' quarterly (unattributed peer-reviewed); historic archives & other electoral studies collections; online resources; occasional seminar events.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
