Voting and Elections

Voting in elections is how ordinary citizens participate and get involved in the political process. This eye-opening book looks at election processes around the world and also examines how campaigns work and the process by which leaders make their way into office. This book also answers questions such as "Where does the concept of voting come from?", "How do potential leaders convince people to vote for them?", and "Has corruption ever helped someone get into office?"
