Election processes are the methods and procedures through which citizens participate in selecting their representatives and deciding on policy issues. These processes can vary widely between countries and may include different voting systems, such as first-past-the-post or ranked-choice voting, each with its own implications for representation and voter engagement. In addition to voting systems, election processes encompass the organization of elections, including voter registration, polling places, and ballot design. Ensuring fair and transparent election processes is crucial for maintaining public trust in democratic institutions and encouraging civic participation.
