Voting & Elections 101

by bam

A clear, non-partisan guide to how U.S. elections actually work: registering to vote, primaries vs. caucuses vs. the general election, how ballots and polling places work (including early and mail voting), the Electoral College, ballot measures, and how votes are counted, canvassed, and certified. Cited to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, the National Archives, Congress.gov/CRS, and the National Conference of State Legislatures. It teaches the mechanics, not who should win.
