Features of Election Law

Features of Election Law:

• Election law in the first place defines how the election system of a state or nation should be. Also, it determines, who all are eligible to vote and how to decide the eligibility of an individual, if he is or not eligible to caste vote. The election laws should also determine the documents that suggest that a person is authorized to caste vote.
• A major factor for elections to take place and voters to caste vote is a contestant. An individual has to nominate himself for election as a contestant. Election laws also define the eligibilities of a nominee and the ways through which he/she can convey the nominations. 
• The types of elections: electric ballot method, paper ballot method, consensus method, etc., are also decided upon to conduct a specific election.
• Election laws specify policies that suggest how to oversee that the political strategies are in line with the laws and regulations.
• Laws for election also determine the regulations for political campaigns, such how many days before the election a campaign can begin, when it shall end, where the sign boards and posters can be posted so that it does not hinder visibility on the roads.
• Laws must describe the vote counting process and how the election results must be declared. After the results are out, system must specify dispute resolution technique and the possible actions against political parties, who followed fraudulent practices during election.
