An
election
is a formal
decision-making process
by which a population chooses an individual to hold
public office
. Elections have been the usual mechanism by which modern
representative democracy
has operated since the 17th century. Elections may fill offices in the
legislature
, sometimes in the
executive
and
judiciary
, and for
regional
and
local government
. This process is also used in many other private and
business
organizations, from clubs to
voluntary associations
and
corporations
.
