Preferred term

electoral administration  

Definition

  • As a topic for political science, electoral administration is a relative newcomer. While democratic theorists such as nineteenth-century British philosopher John Stuart Mill were interested in electoral systems, they had little interest in the administrative underpinnings of democratic elections or what was needed to make them free and fair in practice.
