==Description==
An '''election''' is a [[formal]] [[decision]]-making [[process]] by which a [[population]] chooses an [[individual]] to hold [[public]] office. Elections have been the usual [[mechanism]] by which modern [[representative]] [[democracy]] operates since the 17th century. Elections may fill offices in the [[http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legislature legislature], sometimes in the [[executive]] and [[http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judiciary judiciary], and for regional and local [[government]]. This [[process]] is also used in many other [[private]] and [[business]] [[organizations]], from clubs to voluntary [[associations]] and corporations.
