'Why do we vote in schools?' 'What is the social meaning of secret
balloting?' 'What is lost if we vote by mail or computers rather
than on election day?' 'What is the history and role of drinking
and wagering in elections?' 'How does the electoral cycle generate
the theatre of election night and inaugurations?' Elections are key
public events - in a secular society the only real coming together
of the social whole. Their rituals and rhythms run deep. Yet their
conduct is invariably examined in instrumental ways, as if they
were merely competitive games or liberal apparatus. Focusing on the
political cultures and laws of the UK, the US and Australia, this
book offers an historicised and generalised account of the
intersection of electoral systems and the concepts of ritual,
rhythm and the everyday, which form the basis of how we experience
elections. As a novel contribution to the theory of the law of
elections, this book will be of interest to researchers, students,
administrators and policy makers in both politics and law.
