Elections

“People often say that, in a democracy,
decisions are made by a majority of the people. Of course, that is not true.
Decisions are made by a majority of those who make themselves heard and who vote - a very different thing.”
Walter H. Judd

Voters across the United States are registering to vote in record numbers. As of early October, 85% of eligible Minnesota voters had registered to vote, a new record according to the Minnesota Office of the Secretary of State. Same day voter registration is legal in Minnesota so increases to this number are likely to be seen on election day. It remains to be seen how many people will actually turn out to vote, but voter registration rates appear to suggest that the number will be significant.

Given the primary importance of voting to our political system it’s not surprising that numerous books, reports, and articles have been written about improvements and safeguards to our voting system. The Minnesota Legislative Reference Library has a number of materials on this topic. Recent titles include:
