| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Election |
 | | The law appoints competent electors for each kind of election: cardinals for the election of a pope; the cathedral chapter for the election of a bishop or a vicar capitular; and the various chapters of their order, etc. for the election of regular prelates. | | | The election of bishops by chapters is still, theoretically, the common rule, but the general reservation formulated in the second rule of the Apostolic Chancery has suppressed in practice the application of this law; episcopal elections, in the strict sense of the word, occur now in only a small number of sees (see BISHOP). | | | The superior had to examine carefully both the election and the person of the one elected, in order to satisfy himself that everything was conformable to law; if his investigation proved favourable he gave the requisite confirmation whereby the elected person became definitively prelate of his church and received full jurisdiction. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Election of the Popes |
| | To prevent the evils of a disputed election it was established by this law that no one should be held to be elected until two thirds of the cardinals should have given their votes for him. | | | Thus, an election to the papacy is, properly speaking, primarily an election to the local bishopric. | | | Honorius on the occasion of the contested election of 418 decreed that, when the election was dubious, neither party should hold the papacy, but that a new election should take place. |

| | Finally, federal election law requires full and timely disclosure of campaign receipts and expenditures. | | | At the federal level, the results of those reform efforts -- and of subsequent attempts to ease the burdens of laws imposed on candidates and committees -- are embodied in the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (FECA), the Revenue Act of 1971, and the FECA Amendments of 1974, 1976 and 1979. | | | The 1970s reform laws also imposed contribution and expenditure limits on all federal election campaigns, but the U.S. Supreme Court subsequently ruled that spending limits are permissible only in publicly financed campaigns, currently only presidential campaigns. |

Marcel Masse resigned his Cabinet post when it was announced that he was under investigation with respect to his "election expenses" following the 1984 election. | | | In the later stages of the term of a Parliament, when the prospect of a sudden election campaign becomes greater, the political parties and their candidates must step up their electioneering activities, just in case the election is called. | | | For instance, if a political party spends money on preparing films to be used in their election broadcasts, these costs should - according to one view - be included as 'campaign' costs no matter when they were incurred. |

| | Global Beat: Putting Democracy Back on Track in Hong Kong |
| | Most analysts expect the upcoming election to be carried out in strict accordance with the law, but many in Hong Kong and abroad charge that the revised election procedures passed into law by the provisional legislature are flawed. | | | Despite this lofty objective, however, the process outlined in the Basic Law merely stipulated phasing out--by the year 2007--the ten legislative seats that were elected indirectly through an election committee, leaving half of the legislature indirectly elected through functional constituencies, and included no plan for the direct popular election of the very powerful chief executive. | | | In addition, Beijing stated in Article 68 of the 1990 Basic Law (Hong Kong's quasi-constitution) that its "ultimate aim is the election of all members of the Legislative Council (LegCo) by universal suffrage." Article 45 of the Basic Law similarly states that "the ultimate aim is the selection of the Chief Executive by universal suffrage." |

| | More relevant to public elections, AV can readily be implemented on existing voting machines; because it does not violate any state constitutions in the United States (or the constitutions of most countries in the world), it requires only a statute passed by a state legislature to become law. | | | This statement was deleted from future instructions, but AV was not seen by the AMS as preferable to STV to elect such a committee because it is not a proportional-representation system suitable for multiple-winner elections. | | | If AV is adopted in public elections, it is hard to predict whether AV-dominant candidates would be the norm. |
