		During the early post-war years, the most dangerous threat to free elections came from blatant terrorism of voters by private armies of political warlords, who invaded the polling stations to grab ballot boxes and intimidated voters and poll clerks during the tabulation.
		It is critical for the administration to ensure that the elections are clean and seen to be free, and their results are credible.

		The law defining the duties of the Secretary of State, passed in 1846, includes a provision that he shall, "in a separate book, suitable for the purpose, keep a complete register of all officers appointed and elected in the State..." The origins of the three Republic-era Election Registers, in contrast, are obscure.
		The first (1836-1842) of the two volumes appears consistent with an office memorandum book, its entries lacking uniformity and, occasionally, legibility--clearly not intended as an official register; the second (1843-1846) resembles, both in physical appearance and in information recorded, the official volumes created by State government.
		For compiled election returns beginning in 1850, consult the microfilm edition of the Secretary of State Executive Record Books.
