Election
An election is a formal group decision-making process by which a population chooses an individual or multiple individuals to hold public office. Elections have been the usual mechanism by which modern representative democracy has operated since the 17th century.

This process is also used in many other private and business organisations, from clubs to voluntary associations and corporations.
