Learn More About Illinois Elections 2014

By Mattie MacDonald


This is among the many states of the United States of America. The specific date on which these elections will be done is on the fourth of November which is late this year. All the executive officers of this state will be up for Illinois elections 2014. One of the most important seats which is the senate seat will also be up for competition among the various politicians who will be contesting.

Not everyone is fit to stand to be elected. One must first belong to a registered political party. Here, he must ensure that he gathers majority of votes from the house members so that he can be a representative of this house in the main elections. All the other parties are supposed to do the same. The significance of this stage is to cut down the high number of people that want to vie.

Unlike the earlier times, this time round the laws that pertain elections have slightly changed. In the past, during the primary stage, both the governor and his assistant were selected by the citizens then they were made to run together during the final round. This time, the governor is allowed to choose their running mate once they are nominated.

The appointment of these officers to their various positions will not be different from that of any other previous one. Also, they appear to be similar to those of other countries in terms of their political atmosphere. Different political parties will be represented and during the campaigns, some members of state will stand to defend their seat, others will request to be appointed to other posts while some will just be fresh contestants.

This run is not an easy one. A lot of backstabbing takes place, hate is preached and for people that are not careful, they may end up withdrawing from the race. In this state of Illinois, as the countdown narrows down there are some who became terrified and changed their mind. At the e end of the day, it becomes a race for only those who are able to make it to the finish line.

There is also this issue of the senate seat. This is among the most sought after because the senator is supposed to represent the state in the house. However, in the state of Illinois, this post has been occupied by the same individual for a very long time. This time round, there are speculations that he may still retain it due to his popularity amidst the people.

It is not a requirement that the voters be registered to any political party before such an individual; is allowed to vote. However, during the main nominations, those who are casting their votes are required to stand openly while voting and declare which political alliance he supports. The last day that a citizen is allowed to register to be able to cast a vote is seventh October.

Just like in any other major event like this one that takes place both in this state and all over the world, the process is expected to be free and fair. In the Illinois elections of 2014, only the candidates who end up winning the hearts of citizens, which is showed by the voting in the polls, are then fit to take up office. Any irregularities shall be dealt with seriousness.
