| | United States presidential election, 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The election marked the first time an incumbent president was returned to office while his political party increased its numbers in both houses of Congress since Lyndon Johnson in the 1964 election. | | | The 2004 election was the first to be affected by the campaign finance reforms mandated by the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (also known as the McCain-Feingold Bill for its sponsors in the United States Senate). | | | It was the first time for a Republican since William McKinley in the 1900 election. |

| | Election - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In order for democratic elections to be fair and competitive, opposition parties and candidates must enjoy the rights to freedom of speech, assembly, and movement as necessary to voice their criticisms of the government openly and to bring alternative policies and candidates to the voters. | | | In the 2004 Iranian parliamentary elections almost all of the reformist candidates were ruled unfit by the Guardian Council of religious leaders. | | | The universal acceptance of elections as a tool for selecting representatives in modern democracies is in sharp contrast with the practice in the democratic archetype, ancient Athens, where elections were considered an oligarchic institution and where most political offices were filled using sortition. |

| | Welcome to The American Presidency |
| | Election results and winners are certified by designated public officials, often the clerk of elections in a county or the secretary of state in a state. | | | In the United States, where terms are fixed, elections for the president and members of Congress are held in even-numbered years—every two years for all members of the House of Representatives and for one third of the Senate, and every four years for president (and vice president). | | | In elections for state legislative seats in the United States, both single-member and multiple-member districts are used. |

| | 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 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. | | | An election may be disputed by whoever is interested in it, in which case the question of its validity is referred to the superior, in accordance with the same rule as for judicial appeals. |

| | The last election by compromise was that of John XXII (1316), and the last election by acclamation was that of Gregory XV (1621). | | | Since the Western Schism, however, elections have always been held in Rome (except in 1800, when Neapolitan troops occupying Rome forced the election to be held in Venice), and normally in the Vatican City (which has, since the Lateran treaties of 1929, been recognised as an independent state). | | | Universi Dominici Gregis is the sole constitution governing the election; it abrogates all constitutions previously issued by Popes. |

| | The disturbances which occurred at the disputed election of Symmachus (498) led that pope to hold a council and to decree the severest penalties on all who should be guilty of canvassing or bribery in order to attain the pontificate. | | | 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. | | | 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. |

| | In the 2002 national election, a new party founded by former PLN Congressman and government Minister Ottón Solís captured 26% of the vote, forcing a runoff election for the first time in the country's history. | | | This election was also important because new parties won several seats in Congress, more than ever. | | | The 2006 national election was expected to be a landslide for former President (1986-1990) and PLN's candidate Óscar Arias, but it turned out to be the closest in modern history. |

| | This election marked the final downfall of the Whigs (who had sputtered throughout the 1850s) and the ascendence of the United States Republican Party. | | | The election of 1876 passes the numbers test much better, and resulted in far more drastic changes in United States politics: Reconstruction came to a sudden halt, African Americans in the South would soon be completely disenfranchised, and politicians began to focus on new issues (such as tariffs and civil service reform). | | | The election of 1828 was not fought over great issues (on issues of national importance, there were no clear cut party stances), and in statistical terms, using states as units, there is virtually no relation between 1836, when Martin Van Buren ran, and the three prior elections in which Andrew Jackson ran. |

| | A primary election is an election in which registered voters in a jurisdiction select the candidates who will enter a subsequent election (nominating primary). | | | Because many Washingtonians were disappointed over the loss of the blanket primary, which the Washington State Grange helped institute in 1935, the Grange filed Initiative 872 in 2004 to establish a qualifying primary for partisan races, thereby allowing voters to once again cross party lines in the primary election. | | | In elections using voting systems where strategic nomination is a concern, primaries can be very important in preventing "clone" candidates that split their constituency's vote because of their similarities. |

| | Election analysts, however, warned that only few LDP candidates were enjoying comfortable leads, and there was still a large number of undecided voters who went for the DPJ in the last election, thus the election results were far from being set. | | | Japan held a nationwide election to the House of Representatives, the more powerful lower house of the National Diet, on 11 September 2005, about two years before the end of the term taken from the last election in 2003. | | | Election analysts ascribed the poor performance of the LDP to Koizumi's reforms that have eroded its traditional supporters such as farmers, "Mom-Pop" shop owners and construction workers, because the reforms, including deregulation and tax cuts, were tuned to help big global corporations like Toyota. |
