Question

Describe the purpose of regular and fair elections in a democracy. Then explain how much U.S elections at the local, state, and federal level are similar in terms of district organization, how they are won, and the balloting system used.

Answer 1

Regular and fair elections ensure that the elected officials are responsible to the citizens of their respective territory, state, or country. All around the campaigning and candidates make speeches about what they will be doing for citizens and sharing their views of the future city, state, or country. Once they are elected in office, citizens expect these politicians to keep their promises, and one way to make sure that this happens is through constant elections. Elections at the local, state, and national levels are very similar since they are usually based on a popular vote. The only national election that isn't is the presidency. In all of the elections candidates use commercials, radio advertisements, rallies, speeches, and endorsements from organizations and or other politicians to gain popularity and support.
