Election procedures refer to the steps and rules that govern how elections are conducted. This includes the registration of voters, the nomination of candidates, and the actual voting process. Each state or region may have specific laws that outline how these procedures should be followed to ensure fairness and transparency. Once registered, voters receive information about where and when to vote. They can typically cast their ballots in person on election day, during early voting, or by mail using an absentee ballot. After voting, the ballots are collected and counted, with results reported to the public, ensuring that the process is accountable and secure.
