About this ebook
America may be the most election-crazed nation in the world, boasting roughly 500,000 elected positions nationwide. Not only do we rely heavily on elections to fill government positions, but the frequency of these events far outpaces what is found in other nations. Americans use elections not only to select candidates, but to directly change government policy as well. Referendums and ballot initiatives allow average citizens to vote on policy matters, essentially sidestepping the legislative process.
Campaign Rules provides political activists, researchers, and all citizens an easy-to-use reference tool to help sort out the dizzying breadth of state-based electoral rules. Numerous volumes offer information on federal elections, but Campaign Rules is the first to provide detailed information for each state, including:
·key electoral turnout figures
·statewide election outcomes
·voting regulations
·candidate regulations
·campaign finance rules
·judicial election information
·primary election rules and dates
·lobbying guidelines
·ballot initiative information
