[[File:Authdem.png]] '''Electocracy''' is a mild form of illiberal democracy. [[File:Repdemgen.png]] Representatives are democratically elected in free and fair elections, but due to a variety of factors, the average person has minimal or no say in daily politics as the government does not share its power. This results in a situation where elected representatives have little accountability, capable of doing whatever they wish outside of election cycles. [[File:Thailand.png]] Thailand under [[File:Thaksin.png]] Thaksin before the 2006 military coup was an electocracy. [[File:Cball-Iraq.png]] Iraq today is considered an electocracy as well. |

=== Literocracy === |
|||
'''Literocracy''' can act as either a form of liberal non-democracy or as an [[File:Authdem.png]] electocracy (perhaps even as [[File:Technocracy.png]] semi-technocracy), in which the right to vote is restricted on the basis of literacy. How this is determined by the state can range, but literocrats usually argue for literacy tests as a means of determining the conditional suffrage. While not antithetical to populism or extremism, it may correlate with a reduction in the influence of both within [[File:Repdemgen.png]] representative government. As a result, it may also lend itself to [[File:Elitism.png]] elitism. |
