Fourth November 2014. Not many would react to this date because to them it will just be an ordinary day like any other. This is not the same for the people of the state of Illinois; this is one of the states of the United States of America. There are many prominent officers who are preparing themselves through numerous campaigns to take part in Illinois elections 2014.
Prior to the main voting, there is that one hat is done before. Since those who feel that leadership is in them and that they can win are many, a strategy was developed to reduce this number of people. Each political party is supposed to hold ballot votes where the members decide on the person that will be representing them in the final stage which consequently makes tallying easier.
During the previous year, while voting in the primary section, it was done separately for the governor and his lieutenant. The winners were then put together as running mates in a final polls. Through research and also based on the will of the people, this was seen to be rather dictatorial since the two candidates may not be compatible. The law was changed and now when the governor is chosen in the primary stage, he is allowed to choose the person he sees best fit to be his partner.
No matter where one is on the planet, if a close observation is made; it will be realized that this game called politics is just the same. The bigwigs have the same kind of behavior, there is always that one who will never give up on his seat and will stand over again to be elected.
In the various campaigns that were held, typical political behavior was portrayed. There are some contestants who grew cold feet and felt that they would not win hence they withdrew even before the voters had a chance to decide on whom they were going to choose. At the very end, it becomes like a game of survival for the fittest.
There is also this issue of the senate seat. This is among the most sought after because the senator is supposed to represent the state in the house. However, in the state of Illinois, this post has been occupied by the same individual for a very long time. This time round, there are speculations that he may still retain it due to his popularity amidst the people.
It is not a requirement that the voters be registered to any political party before such an individual; is allowed to vote. However, during the main nominations, those who are casting their votes are required to stand openly while voting and declare which political alliance he supports. The last day that a citizen is allowed to register to be able to cast a vote is seventh October.
The expectations of people this year are not different; they expect those who are handling the voting process to do it with at most sincerity so as to avoid election irregularities like rigging. It is not only the people of this state who are watching but the whole world is upon them, looking closely to see how they conduct themselves.
