Abstract

Ultimately our concern is with the structural aspects of constitutional law, not the regulatory arcana of elections. Approaching the law of democracy from this vantage point makes the field not a derivative and limited domain but a body of ideas that reflect the meaning and assumptions of constitutional law itself. Moreover, expanding the focus from elections to democratic self-governance enables us to begin forging connections between election law and the next frontiers of self-government. These connections implicate private corporate governance, union democracy, workplace participation, and the uncertain status of other intermediate institutions through which citizen involvement in all forms of politics can be made meaningful and effective.
