In Britain, a general election is an election where everyone votes for people to represent them in Parliament.

In the United States, a general election is a local, state, or national election where the candidates have been selected by a primary election. Compare primary.

In a parliamentary system, a general election is an election in which all or most members of a given political body are chosen.

The term is usually used to refer to elections held for a nation’s primary legislative body, as distinguished from by-elections and local elections.

In this system, members of parliament are also elected to the executive branch. The party in government usually designates the leaders of the executive branch.

A by-election is an election held to fill a political office that has become vacant between regularly scheduled elections.

Usually, a by-election occurs when the incumbent has resigned or died. Local elections vary widely across jurisdictions.

In an electoral system that roughly follows the Westminster model, a terminology has evolved with roles such as mayor or warden to describe the executive of a city, town, or region, although the actual means of elections may vary.

Political careers are often made at the local level: Boris Yeltsin, for instance, as the top official in Moscow, was able to prove his effectiveness and eventually become President of Russia after the collapse of the USSR.

When he fought his first contested local election, he demonstrated a willingness to put his policies to the ballot.

It’s always very difficult to predict election results. A lot can still happen, especially when all these parties lie relatively close to the threshold.

If you look at the support for these parties over the long term, you can see a very poor trend in the case of both KD and L. L has seen a fall in votes at every election since 2002. The trend for KD is even worse as voter support has fallen at every election since 1998. If these trends continue, both parties will find themselves in a precarious situation.

Primary Elections
A primary election is an election that narrows the field of candidates before the general election. Primary elections are one means by which a political party nominates candidates for the next general election.

If you look at the opinion polls since the last general election, KD is doing particularly badly as support has consistently remained very low. Although the Green Party doesn’t show the same long-term downward trend of the two right-wing parties, it is of course in a precarious situation too. After a turbulent term in office they’ve lost a lot of support among the electorate.

Primaries are common in the United States, where their origins are traced to the progressive movement to take the power of candidate nomination away from party leaders and give it to the people.

One factor that will be important for all these parties is the extent to which they will benefit from the tactical voting of those whose sympathies lie with other parties.

We know from previous elections that these parties have benefited from a relatively large number of tactical votes at the expense of the bigger parties. Some surveys show that in certain elections a third of the votes in support of KD came from voters whose first choice was actually another party

In the case of closed primaries, only party members can vote.
