"An election must be conducted subject to the limitations imposed by a state constitution. The procedure for conducting an election is set by a state legislature. Each constitution of a state gives the legislature power to enact laws that are necessary for the proper and peaceful conduct of an election. A state legislature has been given wide power by the constitution to enact laws or regulations regarding the time, place, and manner of conducting elections. Sometimes broad power given to a state legislature tends to infringe the federal constitutional rights of association and freedom of expression."
