The Nominating Process

Nomination: the naming of those who will seek office in an election General election: regularly scheduled election at which voters make final selections for officeholders Nomination is a function of our political parties. -determines who will be on the ballot

5 Nominating Methods

1. Self-Announcement Def.: announce that you are running for office Oldest nominating method Independent & minor party candidates George Wallace- 1968 American Independent party Eugene McCarthy-1976 Indpendent candidate John Anderson- 1980 Independent candidate Ross Perot- 1992 Independent candidate

2. Caucus Def.: a group of people meet to select the candidates they will support in the election Political parties took over this process Criticisms: closed, private, & unrepresentative of the people’s will Originally, only influential community members met. 1800-Federalists and Dem-Rep used the caucus 1824-Andrew Jackson, Henry Adams, & J. Q. Adams boycotted the system in their run for president. Locally used in New England.

3. Convention Def.: party members meet at the local, state, & national levels to choose representatives & candidates at each level 1831: Anti-Masons 1840: main nominating tool

Less popular by the 1900’s Connecticut, Michigan, Utah, and Virginia still use regulated conventions

4. Direct Primary Def.: an election held within a party to pick the candidates for the general election 1903: Wisconsin There are two types of primaries...

Closed vs. Open 37 states + D.C. Only declared party members Must pre-register with a party 12 states Any qualified voter Don’t have to declare party affiliation

Blanket primary : ballot lists nominations from every party (major and minor) used by Washington and California

Closed Primaries + prevents party raiding - compromises ballot secrecy + candidates are more responsive + voters must think - compromises ballot secrecy - excludes independent voters

Open Primaries + is more inclusive - permits party raiding - undercuts party loyalty

Runoff primary: the top two candidates in the first primary face-off with the winner getting the nomination or office Non-partisan primary: primaries where the candidates for office are not labeled by party

5. Petition Def.: a candidate is nominated by a list of signatures from qualified voters Local levels, minor parties, independents Signatures required increase with the level of office
