AnagramsCategory: English pluralsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. An election is a formal decision-making process by which a population chooses an individual to hold public office. Elections have been the usual mechanism by which modern representative democracy operates since the 17th century. Elections may fill offices in the legislature, sometimes in the executive and judiciary, and for regional and local government. This process is also used in many other private and business organizations, from clubs to voluntary associations and corporations. The universal use of elections as a tool for selecting representatives in modern democracies is in contrast with the practice in the democratic archetype, ancient Athens. Elections were considered an oligarchic institution and most political offices were filled using sortition, also known as allotment, by which officeholders were chosen by lot. Electoral reform describes the process of introducing fair electoral systems where they are not in place, or improving the fairness or effectiveness of existing systems. Psephology is the study of results and other statistics relating to elections (especially with a view to predicting future results). To elect means "to choose or make a decision" (For example, in contract law, if one party breaches the agreement, the other party may "elect" whether to continue or repudiate the contract), and so sometimes other forms of ballot such as the referendum are referred to as elections, especially in the United States.

In 1932, that fell on November 8. Technically, his electors were elected then. The electors meet on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December. God knows where they came up with that but its the constitution. In 1932, that was December 19 so they officially voted for Roosevelt then. However, the vote is not official until counted by the sitting Vice President, or appropriate substitute if the VP is unavailable. Up until, the 1960s, there was no way to replace a VP.
