【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 r where there are three or more candidates, but since this is not unmon, such results are not rare. Electoral behaviour in Britain ? Electoral behaviour in Britain is characterized by a considerable degree of homogeneity and the movement of support (or swing) from one party to another at a general election is usually maintained fairly uniformly over the whole country. The White House Elections in the United States ? The system is a product not only of American politics but also of the development of technology as problems regarding transportation and munications were solved in the past 200 years. Basically, the system is not that plicated when traced backwards. In the simplest terms, the members of the College of Electors from 50 states and the District of Columbia get together and cast their votes for the president and vicepresident of the United States. The candidates who get the highest number of votes win. THE LISTING Voting – Eligibility – Voter registration – Absentee voting – Mail ballots – Early voting – Voting equipment Eligibility ? The eligibility of an individual for voting is set out in the constitution and also regulated at state level. The constitution states that suffrage cannot be denied on grounds of race or color, sex or age for citizens eighteen years or older. Beyond these basic qualifications, it is the responsibility of state legislatures to regulate voter eligibility. Voter registration ? Every state except North Dakota requires that citizens who wish to vote be registered. Some states allow citizens to register to vote on the same day of the election . ? Traditionally, voters had to register at state offices to vote, but in the mid1990s efforts were made by the federal government to make registering easier, in an attempt to increase turnout. Absentee voting ? Voters unable or unwilling to vote at polling stations on Election Day can vote via absentee ballots. Absentee ballots are most monly sent and received via the United States Postal Service. Despite their name, absentee ballots are often requested and submitted in person . Typically a voter must request an absentee ballot before the election occurs. Mail ballots ? Mail ballots are similar in many respects to an absentee ballot. However they are used for Mailing Precincts where on election day no polling place is opened for a specific precinct. In Oregon, all ballots are delivered through the mail.
