This is the 11th incarnation of a citizen primer on American presidential politics produced by the League of Women Voters Education Fund. It first addresses such issues as voter characteristics and behavior, candidate characteristics, the political parties and other behind-the-scenes powers, the role of the media, the role of money. It then provides a step-by-step guide to the electoral process from the establishment of exploratory committees to the day of the election. For this edition, they have incorporated discussion of the impact of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 and the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002.
