Introduction to Election
Election, procedure that allows members of an organization or community to choose representatives who will hold positions of authority within it. The most important elections select the leaders of local, state, and national governments. The chance to decide who will govern at these levels serves as an opportunity for the public to make choices about the policies, programs, and future directions of government action. At the same time, elections promote accountability. The threat of defeat at the polls exerts pressure on those in power to conduct themselves in a responsible manner and take account of popular interests and wishes when they make their decisions.
In the United States, elections are held at regular intervals. National presidential elections take place every four years. Congressional elections occur every two years. Elections for state and local office usually coincide with national elections. The responsibility for organizing elections rests largely with state and local governments. State laws specify how elections are to be administered, determine the boundaries of electoral districts, and specify the qualifications of candidates. State, county, and municipal election boards administer elections. These boards establish and staff polling places and verify the eligibility of individuals who come to vote." (1)
Annulment or Cancellation of Election Results in Election Law
Invalidation of the results of an election by a competent authority, in light of a breach of electoral law or irregularities during the election campaign, on election day or during the vote count, by one or several candidates or by the election authority itself. The competent authority usually has the power to assess the severity of the infringements and their impact on results and to decide whether or not the results should be annulled.
Autonomy (election Management Body) in Election Law
Often confused with independence of action, an autonomous electoral management body (EMB) refers to its institutional status, i.e. its structural independence. The EMB is a separate entity from other government agencies (independence with regard to the composition and functioning of the electoral administration). This aspect of independence is therefore more accurately referred to as 'autonomy.'
Election in Election Law
Process by which voters choose their local, regional or national representatives. An election is also used to designate representatives within organisations such as unions, associations or political parties.
The Right to Stand For Election in Election Law
All individuals, political parties or groups who wish to stand for election should be free to do so without discrimination
. A genuine election requires an open and inclusive registration process for political parties and candidates from across the political spectrum, contributing to creating a situation in which the real choices to the electorate are manifest. Individuals should have the right to stand as independent candidates or as representatives of a political party.
