Post-humous publication refers to the publishing of a work after its creators death, usually with the permission of the next of kin (children, spouse, etc.). In some cases unfinished works are published without edits, while in other cases the works are heavily edited or finished by other authors.

Proportional representation is a type of electoral system in which the seats in government are assigned based on the percentage of votes a party gets in the election (ie. if a party gets 35% of the votes they get 35% of the seats in parliament). Proportional representation is used in countries such as Spain, Israel, and Austria. First past the post is another type of electoral system in which a country is divided into regions of approximately equal population (often called ridings), and each riding represents one seat in the parliament. In an election whichever candidate wins the most votes in a riding (not neccessarily the majority) wins the riding and holds that seat in parliament. First past the post is used in countries like Canada, the United Kingdom, and India's lower house.
