election law
Rules governing ballots
Election law is the body of rules governing how elections are conducted—who can vote, who can run for office, how campaigns are financed, and how votes are counted.
It encompasses voter registration requirements, ballot access, redistricting, and the certification of results.
The campaign hired an election law attorney to challenge the recount procedures.
