In these circumstances, ideological identification obviously dominates party identification, on both the first and second ballots. Finally, even for party leaders in major urban areas, existing balloting arrangements created serious problems of party management. I was also able to calculate how many of those voting cast spoiled and blank ballots. Throughout this entire period men were more likely than women to mis-mark their ballots or cast blank ones. The sum of abstentions, void or invalid ballots amounted to 39% of those registered in one polling station. Their interest is also in the changes in the methods of electoral fraud, its regional specificity and the scope in which they influenced the ballots. An offer to subscribe was included with ballots. In such societies, the constellation of political parties is formed on the basis of ethnicity, which overridingly determines how voters cast their ballots in elections.

The day was a public holiday and over 70 % of registered voters cast their ballots.

In other words, if the defendants had not counted ballots as intended, then they had conspired to deny these ninety-seven voters of their federally protected rights. A smaller number of cases have dealt with charges of illegal elections, stemming largely from the unconstitutional nature of state-level election laws, and improper counting/canvassing of ballots. Similarly, they would not be able to consider using a transnational grouping of, say, professions, because of the difficulties of communicating between constituents or of distributing secure ballots for elections. Where initiatives appear frequently on state ballots, it is more likely that active campaigns or media coverage might focus public attention on a major public issue or set of issues. In contrast, party column ballots, which made it much more difficult to split-ticket vote, gave legislators little reason to differentiate themselves from their parties and each other. Another possibility is that these ballots are cast by minor-party supporters who find both themselves and their district candidates on the losing side of an important intra-party struggle.
