  • Your Enrollment As a Voter

    Your Enrollment As a Voter

    YOUR ENROLLMENT AS A VOTER When you register to vote, you may choose to enroll in a political party or political designation or may choose to remain “unenrolled,” which is commonly referred to as independent. Choosing to Enroll in a Political Party: There are two political parties in Massachusetts: Democratic Party (D), (617) 776-2676 Republican Party (R), (617) 523-5005 If you enroll in either of these two parties you may vote only in that party’s primary. Enrollment in a political party does not affect your right to vote in the general election. In the general election, all voters receive the same ballot and vote for the candidate of their choice, regardless of party enrollment. Choosing No Enrollment in a Political Party: If you do not wish to enroll in a party, check the box next to “No Party (unenrolled)” on the voter registration form. If you do not enroll in a party, you may still vote in state and presidential primaries by choosing a party ballot and will remain unenrolled, which is commonly referred to as “independent.” Choosing to Enroll in a Political Designation: In addition to the two “political parties” listed above, there are certain legal political designations in which you can enroll. Currently these are: Conservative Party (A) Prohibition Party (P) Natural Law Party (B) American Independent Party (Q) New World Council (C) Socialist (S) Reform Party (E) Interdependent 3rd Party (T) Rainbow Coalition (F) America First Party (V) Green Party USA (G) Veterans Party America (W) We the People (H) Pirate (X) Constitution Party (K) World Citizens Party (Y) Green-Rainbow (J) Working Families (Z) Libertarian Party (L) Pizza Party (AA) Timesizing Not Downsizing (M) American Term Limits (BB) New Alliance Party (N) United Independent Party (CC) Massachusetts Independent Party (O) If you enroll in any political designation you may not vote in any state or presidential primary.

    The Emergence of Parties in the Canadian House of Commons (1867-1908)

    The Emergence of Parties in the Canadian House of Commons (1867-1908). Jean-Fran¸coisGodbouty and Bjørn Høylandz y D´epartement de science polititque, Universit´ede Montr´eal zDepartment of Political Science, University of Oslo Conference on the Westminster Model of Democracy in Crisis? Comparative Perspectives on Origins, Development and Responses, May 13-14, 2013. Abstract This study analyzes legislative voting in the first ten Canadian Parliaments (1867-1908). The results demonstrate that party voting unity in the House of Commons dramati- cally increases over time. From the comparative literature on legislative organization, we identify three factors to explain this trend: partisan sorting; electoral incentives; and negative agenda control. Several different empirical analyses confirm that intra-party conflict is generally explained by the opposition between Anglo-Celtic/Protestants and French/Catholic Members of Parliament. Once members begin to sort into parties according to their religious affiliation, we observe a sharp increase in voting cohesion within the Liberal and Conservative parties. Ultimately, these finding highlight the importance of territorial and socio-cultural conflicts, as well as agenda control, in ex- plaining the emergence of parties as cohesive voting groups in the Canadian Parliament. This study explains the development of party unity in the Canadian House of Commons. We take advantage of the historical evolution of this legislature to analyze a complete set of recorded votes covering the first ten parliaments (1867-1908). This early period is of interest because it was during these years that the first national party system was established, the electoral franchise was limited, and the rules and procedures of the House were kept to a minimum.

    What Is the Purpose of the Student Vote Program? Why Is It Important to Encourage Family Discussion? What Is Student Vote Day?

    Intermediate/Secondary Resource Dear Educator, We would like to thank you for accepting this important responsibility of bringing democracy and citizenship education into your classroom. By introducing your students to the habits of citizenship, you are making an extremely worthwhile contribution to our democracy. Your enthusiasm toward special initiatives such as the Student Vote program provides an example to students (and their families) that caring about their democracy is an important and worthwhile effort. What is the purpose of the Student Vote program? The Student Vote program provides young Canadians with an opportunity to experience the democratic process firsthand and practice the habits of informed and engaged citizenship. The Student Vote program applies the concept of the ‘teachable moment’ using the official election as a backdrop to the parallel election. By matching real life events with school life, this exercise can motivate your students into becoming informed and active citizens. Our hope is that through your instruction students will enter as citizens into the community with knowledge, understanding and a sense of empowerment. Through the campaign activities and resulting vote, we look forward to inspiring a conversation about civic responsibility in your class and at home. Why is it important to encourage family discussion? Based on feedback from past programs, we know that students are eager to share their knowledge with family and friends, engaging them in conversation about the election. This family exchange allows students to explore different points of view and further develop habits of informed citizenship. Discuss ideas with your students that may encourage ‘democracy at the dinner table’ as take home assignments.

    House of Representatives By-Elections 1901–2014

    RESEARCH PAPER SERIES, 2017–18 5 MARCH 2018 House of Representatives by-elections: 1901–2017 Stephen Barber Statistics and Mapping Section Executive summary This paper provides details of House of Representatives by-elections, from that held for Darling Downs on 14 September 1901 to the most recent held on 16 December 2017 for Bennelong. The following observations can be made about those by-elections: • there have been 151 by-elections, an average of 3.4 per parliament • the average number of nominations has grown over the years from 2.2 per by-election to 12.0 per by- election • in only four cases was a by-election contested by just a single candidate • an increasing tendency has been for governments to avoid contesting by-elections in their opponents’ safe seats • in only ten cases have the opposition party failed to contest a by-election • seventy-six of the by-elections followed the resignation of the member, 68 members died in office, there have been six voided elections, and one MP was expelled from the House • since 1949 resignations account for almost two-thirds of by-elections and over half the resignations have occurred in safe seats • on 35 occasions the party complexion of a seat has altered at a by-election • five of the losses have been by the opposition of the day • the average two-party preferred swing against the government of the day has been 3.8 per cent • since 1949 the largest two-party swing against a government occurred against Labor in Canberra in 1995. The largest swing to a government occurred to the Coalition in McPherson in 1981.
  • 1 Separatism in Quebec

    1 Separatism in Quebec

    1 Separatism in Quebec: Off the Agenda but Not Off the Minds of Francophones An Honors Thesis Submitted to the Department of Politics in Partial Fulfillment of the Honors Program By Sarah Weber 5/6/15 2 Table of Contents Chapter 1. Introduction 3 Chapter 2. 4 Chapter 3. 17 Chapter 4. 36 Chapter 5. 41 Chapter 6. 50 Chapter 7. Conclusion 65 3 Chapter 1: Introduction-The Future of Quebec The Quebec separatist movement has been debated for decades and yet no one can seem to come to a conclusion regarding what the future of the province holds for the Quebecers. This thesis aims to look at the reasons for the Quebec separatist movement occurring in the past as well as its steady level of support. Ultimately, there is a split within the recent literature in Quebec, regarding those who believe that independence is off the political agenda and those who think it is back on the agenda. This thesis looks at public opinion polls, and electoral returns, to find that the independence movement is ultimately off the political agenda as of the April 2014 election, but continues to be supported in Quebec public opinion. I will first be analyzing the history of Quebec as well as the theories other social scientists have put forward regarding separatist and nationalist movements in general. Next I will be analyzing the history of Quebec in order to understand why the Quebec separatist movement came about. I will then look at election data from 1995-2012 in order to identify the level of electoral support for separatism as indicated by the vote for the Parti Quebecois (PQ).
