Section 7

Elections

This section relates primarily to presidential, congressional, and gubernatorial


elections. Also presented are summary
tables on congressional legislation; state
legislatures; Black, Hispanic, and female
officeholders; population of voting age;
voter participation; and campaign
finances.
Official statistics on federal elections, collected by the Clerk of the House, are published biennially in Statistics of the Presidential and Congressional Election and
Statistics of the Congressional Election.
Federal and state elections data appear
also in America Votes, a biennial volume
published by Congressional Quarterly,
Inc., Washington, DC. Federal elections
data also appear in the U.S. Congress,
Congressional Directory, and in official
state documents. Data on reported registration and voting for social and economic groups are obtained by the U.S.
Census Bureau as part of the Current
Population Survey (CPS) and are published
in Current Population Reports, Series P20
(see text, Section 1).
Almost all federal, state, and local governmental units in the United States conduct
elections for political offices and other
purposes. The conduct of elections is
regulated by state laws or, in some cities
and counties, by local charter. An exception is that the U.S. Constitution prescribes the basis of representation in Congress and the manner of electing the
President and grants to Congress the
right to regulate the times, places, and
manner of electing federal officers.
Amendments to the Constitution have
prescribed national criteria for voting eligibility. The 15th Amendment, adopted in
1870, gave all citizens the right to vote
regardless of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. The 19th Amendment,
adopted in 1919, further extended the
right to vote to all citizens regardless of
sex. The payment of poll taxes as a prerequisite to voting in federal elections
was banned by the 24th Amendment in

1964. In 1971, as a result of the 26th


Amendment, eligibility to vote in national
elections was extended to all citizens,
18 years old and over.
Presidential electionThe Constitution
specifies how the President and Vice
President are selected. Each state elects,
by popular vote, a group of electors equal
in number to its total of members of Congress. The 23d Amendment, adopted in
1961, grants the District of Columbia
three presidential electors, a number
equal to that of the least populous state.
Subsequent to the election, the electors
meet in their respective states to vote for
President and Vice President. Usually,
each elector votes for the candidate
receiving the most popular votes in his or
her state. A majority vote of all electors is
necessary to elect the President and Vice
President. If no candidate receives a
majority, the House of Representatives,
with each state having one vote, is
empowered to elect the President and
Vice President, again, with a majority of
votes required.
The 22d Amendment to the Constitution,
adopted in 1951, limits presidential tenure to two elective terms of 4 years each
or to one elective term for any person
who, upon succession to the Presidency,
has held the office or acted as President
for more than 2 years.
Congressional electionThe Constitution provides that Representatives be
apportioned among the states according
to their population, that a census of population be taken every 10 years as a basis
for apportionment, and that each state
have at least one Representative. At the
time of each apportionment, Congress
decides what the total number of Representatives will be. Since 1912, the total
has been 435, except during 1960 to
1962 when it increased to 437, adding
one Representative each for Alaska and
Hawaii. The total reverted to 435 after
Elections 249

reapportionment following the 1960 census. Members are elected for 2-year
terms, all terms covering the same
period. The District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, and the Virgin Islands
each elect one nonvoting Delegate, and
Puerto Rico elects a nonvoting Resident
Commissioner.
The Senate is composed of 100 members,
2 from each state, who are elected to
serve for a term of 6 years. One-third of
the Senate is elected every 2 years. Senators were originally chosen by the state
legislatures. The 17th Amendment to the
Constitution, adopted in 1913, prescribed
that Senators be elected by popular vote.
Voter eligibility and participation
The Census Bureau publishes estimates
of the population of voting age and the

percent casting votes in each state for


Presidential and congressional election
years. These voting-age estimates include
a number of persons who meet the age
requirement but are not eligible to vote,
(e.g. aliens and some institutionalized
persons). In addition, since 1964, voter
participation and voter characteristics
data have been collected during November of election years as part of the CPS.
These survey data include noncitizens in
the voting age population estimates but
exclude members of the Armed Forces
and the institutional population.
Statistical reliabilityFor a discussion
of statistical collection and estimation,
sampling procedures, and measures of
statistical reliability applicable to Census
Bureau data, see Appendix III.

Two 1984 midterm recall elections resulted in a change in control of the Michigan State Senate. At the time of the 1984
election, therefore, Democrats controlled 33 legislatures. 2 A party change during the year by a Democratic representative broke
the tie in the Indiana House of Representatives, giving the Republicans control of both chambers.

No. 424. National Party Nonfederal Activity: 1996 to 2000


[In dollars. During the 2000 election cycle, both major parties raised record amounts of nonfederal or soft money. Soft money
is used to pay a portion of the overhead expenses of party organizations, as well as other shared expenses that benefit both federal
and nonfederal elections. In addition, it is used for issue advocacy, as well as generic party advertising. It may also be transferred
from national committees to state and local party committees as well as being used to support construction and maintenance of
party headquarters]
