Baha'i Elections.
The Baha'i world elected its supreme governing body a couple months ago (which happens every 5 years), attended by representatives from every nation on Earth, pretty much.  article: http://news.bahai.org/story/629

And just a few weeks ago the Baha'i National Spiritual Assemblies had their annual election in Chicago.  It's a very different process from the current U.S. governmental primaries and elections.  Chicago's public radio station's "848"  program just did a very interesting story contrasting the two. 

"Though the season of primaries is almost behind us, November is nearly half a year away and we could still be in for a lot more partisan politics and mudslinging. If it seems like there ought to be a more civil way to run democratic elections, members of the Baha’i faith say that’s because there is. And once a year, they refine a new democratic process in that big white temple in north suburban Wilmette. The 100th Baha’i National Convention was recently held there. Eight Forty-Eight contributor Jennifer Brandel watched the process."
