Preferred term
candidate recruitment
Definition
- Candidate recruitment refers to the rules employed by political parties through which possible candidates for elected office appear on the official electoral ballots (be it in list as well as in nonlist systems). Thus, the term has a more precise meaning in political science than recruitment to the legislature, which includes parties' rules for drafting elections as well as other factors operating in accession to parliamentary functions such as the legal rules governing eligibility or the electoral system.
