TASK THREE – P3
In the electoral processes that are used in the United Kingdom elections there
are many different stages until you reach the end. There are two different
election processes in the UK. One is called General election and the other one
is called Local election.
LOCAL ELECTION
Local election is someone wanting to get voted in to look
after their local councils and will be responsible for roads,
footpath, libraries etc. If an individual wanted to stand to
be elected as head of their local council they’ll have to
meet all the rules before applying. A person that is filling in the application
form will have to be over 18 years old as that is the minimum age require set.
He/she will also have to be a British citizen and a citizen of the ROI. Wherever
the individual live they will have to be registered in local authority. Another
requires which has to be reached is that certain person will have to of lived in
their area for at least 12 months before nomination. If that person is everything
above they’ll be edible to apply to the declaration of the vote of becoming
their local countries head.
GENERAL ELECTION
The general election is the representatives to the
legislature such as the House of Commons. When an
individual is filling out the application form to stand for election
they’ll have to reach a set of requires like you do in the local
election. Every individual that is standing for election has to be over 18 years
old, along with being British citizen and a citizen of the ROI. Also they have to
be a commonwealth citizen as well. If that person reaches all the
requirements, they are able to stand to be elected.
, During the voting process they will be many different voting systems that have
to be used until they get to the end of the voting system, where the results will
be given out. In the voting system there are around six different voting types.
First past the post
First past the post is mostly used to elected MP’s for the
House of Commons etc. First past the post is used in the
general election. In this voting system there will be all the
different parties that hope to get elected. At the side of the names there will be
a box and people will put a cross next to the names that they want to vote for.
Single transferable vote
This voting system is mostly used in general elections for
individuals wanting to get in the House of Commons. In this
voting system the different names will be on the sheet. The
public will rank who they want to become an MP by numbering them. 5 will be
the best and 1 is the worst. All the numbers will be added up at the end and
whoever has the highest number they will win that voting system.
Alternative vote
This voting system is used to elect the majority of chairs in
the House of Commons. This is also used to elect the lord
speaker and for hereditary peers. In this voting system the
public will rank their preference by marking 1 to 3 on the candidate’s name. If a
candidate reaches over 50 per cent of the first preference vote, they’ll be
elected. If no candidate reaches 50 per cent the candidate with least first
preference, they will be eliminated. The election will then have a
second vote.
