Election rules encompass the specific regulations and guidelines that govern various aspects of the election process, including voter eligibility criteria, campaign financing limits, ballot design requirements, and procedures for vote counting and reporting results.
Electoral Systems: Electoral systems refer to the broader set of rules and procedures that determine how elections are conducted. While election rules focus on specific regulations within an electoral system, electoral systems encompass all aspects of conducting elections.
Voter Suppression: Voter suppression refers to any intentional effort aimed at preventing certain individuals or groups from exercising their right to vote. This can include tactics such as voter ID laws, gerrymandering, or limiting access to polling stations.
Campaign Finance: Campaign finance refers to the funding of electoral campaigns, including the sources of money and how it is spent. Regulations on campaign finance aim to prevent corruption and ensure transparency in political financing.
