| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Election |
 | | As a general rule, election is assured to the candidate who obtains the majority of votes, i. | | | Religious communities of men and women under simple vows proceed by election in the choice of superiors, superiors general, assistants general, and usually the members of the general councils. | | | 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). |

| | Welcome to Voter March |
| | It was then that they were surprised to discover - too late to do anything about it - that they were somehow no longer registered and wouldn't be allowed to vote in the general election. | | | But more important, if our own elections are to be legitimate, then they must be honest, open, with high national standards. | | | They called the Lucas County Board of Elections early last year to make sure they still were registered to vote. |

| | USIS -- Issues of Democracy, September 1996 --Financing Presidential Election Campaigns |
| | In the 1992 general election campaign, the fifth in which public funds were provided, incumbent Republican George Bush had about $90 million spent by his campaign or on his behalf, including a public grant of $55.2 million. | | | Finally, federal election law requires full and timely disclosure of campaign receipts and expenditures. | | | The feasibility of public financing in the last five presidential campaigns depended on the taxpayers' willingness to earmark a small portion of their tax liabilities -- $1 for individuals and $2 for married persons filing jointly -- for the Presidential Election Campaign Fund by using the federal income tax checkoff on their tax forms. |

| | Horserace reporting, in general, increased across time during the 1988 and 1992 election campaigns, while poll reporting of issues declined. | | | This analysis provided a numerical account of coverage patterns across the 1988 and 1992 election campaigns, allowing us to consider, for example, the percent of poll sentences that contained horserace terms versus the percent that contained substantive and image issue terms. | | | In brief, horserace reporting characterized campaign coverage in prestige newspapers during the 1992 election year, refuting claims made by professional commentators that "the issues" would be the central focus. |

| | Ross Perot's push for a balanced budget in 1992 framed that election, and the Clinton presidency. | | | It would also force candidates to wait until after the November elections to collect public financing dollars owed them, rather than collecting the cash after the September primaries--in time to use the money to conduct campaigns. | | | For supporters of Minnesota's upstart-friendly ballot-access laws that make it possible for third-party candidates like Jesse Ventura to win election to high political office in the state, the demise of this bill is a very good thing. |
