	When Eelam Wave swept the 1977 General Election
		The independent analysts of the 1977 plebiscite verdict did calculate that 57% of the population in the Northern and Eastern provinces voted for the TULF, and Fr.Balasuriya’s estimate of 49.9% was faulty.
		Compared to the mandate received by Jinnah in the 1937 elections, the verdict for a separate state given by the Eelam Tamils in the 1977 elections was clear-cut and convincing.
		When a nationwide general election is interpreted as a plebiscite, this usually implies that the election is an expression of the people’s choice of a government or an expression of confidence or lack of confidence in a ruler.

		As for the 1977 and 1981 elections, the court of appeals concluded that since five seats were at issue and there was only one fl candidate in 1977 and none in 1981, "it was virtually unavoidable that certain white candidates would be supported by a large percentage of Gretna's fl voters." Pet.

		The 1977 General Election took place amongst some of the most unusal circumstances ever seen in a British election, and the result was similarly unique.
		Elections called during a threat to national security, so-called "khaki elections", have often resulted in large majorities for the governing party.
		It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that, by the middle of 1977, Parliament had ceased to be an important institution in the British polity.

		that the provision for election of judges set forth in our constitution is the 'prime and basic provision and precept' of that article and that the provision for filling vacancies is 'subordinate and supplementary thereto.' .

	Election Registers - Texas State Library
		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.

	Douglas W. Jones Illustrated Voting Machine History
		In the late 19th century, many early developers of voting machines continued to interpret laws requiring that election be by ballot as the requirement that elections be carried out by the use of little balls, so many early voting machines operated by depositing small balls in the appropriate containers as each voter cast a vote.
		In the United States, it is likely that the widespread fraud reported in the general election of 1884 was the major impetus behind the first adoption of new voting methods in 1888, but this level of fraud would probably have gone unnoticed if it hadn't been for the election upset of 1876.
		It was not until the general election of November 2000 that problems with the Votomatic voting technology became the subject of widespread public discussion.
