Definition
- THE FACT THAT the responsibility for designing, printing, and counting election ballots is delegated to thousands of state and local governmental units contributes to an electoral system with a wide-ranging assortment of ballots and their concomitant ballot issues. Getting on the Ballot Until the end of the 19th century, getting a candidate's name on the ballot was not a difficult task because there were virtually no restrictions on ballot access in the United States.
