Election Cycle

Elections typically follow a well-established pattern, with three distinct stages: a Pre-voting Period during which everything is planned, including the design and procurement of materials for voter registration and the election; the Voting Period when – provided the planning process has been executed efficiently – votes are cast, counted and verified and tabulated for public release; and a Post-voting Period during which voter lists are updated, results archived and all aspects of the election process reviewed.
