The sixth edition of this esteemed two-volume reference first published 35 years ago retains the original's core emphasis: the origins and development of US elections (at the federal and state levels), and the context of such issues as campaign finance reform. Initial chapters cover the evolution of American elections and the expansion of the franchise. Subsequent chapters address various aspects of political parties--their development, politics and issues, and historical profiles. Coverage of presidential elections includes chronological discussion, characteristics and activities of nominating conventions, the activities of the electoral college, and a biographical directory of candidates. Congressional and gubernatorial elections are similarly covered with discussion of their structures and their evolution, as well as identification of personnel. Mixed in with the narrative essays are substantial numbers of tables, figures, and boxes featuring demographic and statistical portraits of particular elections as well as changes in institutions and legal reforms. Along with a general index, access to the contents is available through indexes of House candidates, Senate general election candidates, Senate primary candidates, and gubernatorial general election and primary candidates.
