Elections Easier - An election is when something is decided or someone is chosen for an office or position by voting. Harder - Elections are the process where people vote for the candidate or proposal of their choice. The right of the people to choose the government officials who represent and govern them is the basis of democratic government. Therefore elections are an important political activity of citizens.
Elections are also the means of peacefully transferring power from one person or group to another.
In addition to public elections, many non governmental groups such as labor unions, social clubs, and student bodies hold their own elections to choose officials and officers. These pages explain the election process for Federal officials. Information about specific candidates and their campaigns or political parties and their platforms will not be found here.
