	150, "Elections, Elections, Elections"
		By most definitions, a free election is presumably one in which alternate candidates, representing different views, may present themselves to the electorate, may communicate with them freely, and be elected by the free vote of the electorate.
		The result of such a free election is supposed to be considered a legitimate decision about who shall govern a political unit (or in the case of a referendum what decision shall have force of law).
		If an election is free, the losing side is expected to recognize that it has lost the election honestly and therefore is expected to accept the results as the will of the majority.

	Voting in home country elections \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		According to critics of dual citizenship and immigrant participation in homeland politics, continued attachment to their country of origin is the primary reason that voting rates, and other forms of civic and political engagement, are so low among immigrants in the United States.
