This monograph is the result of the extension of a Master's thesis which was submitted to the Department of Political Science of the University of Wisconsin in 1925. The present work is divided into three parts. The first four chapters which deal the legal procedure of Parliamentary elections in England embody the corresponding part of the original essay with some changes. The next four chapters which describe the working of the electoral system are entirely new additions and they were written after the author had spent one year in England in personal investigations. The last three chapters which treat the corrupt and illegal practices and the election petitions are the result of reconstruction from that part of the old dissertation which covers the same ground.

Excerpt from The Parliamentary Election Manual: A Practical Handbook on the Law and Conduct of Parliamentary Elections in Great Britain and Ireland The Work, it is believed, will be found to be brought up to date. The substance of the Returning Officers (scotland) Act, 1891, which was passed at the close of the last Session of Parliament, has been incorporated under the title of Returning Oflicers' Charges. Recent action of the House of Commons in relation to the Verney and De Cobain cases, in so far as it affects the status of elected members, is alluded to in its proper place. Appropriate reference will also be found to the opinions upon corrupt practices lately delivered in Par liament by her Majesty's attorney-general and Solicitor General for England.

Since 1945, turnout for general elections in the UK has fallen from a high of 83.9% in 1950 to a low of 59.4% in 2001. Turnout for the 2010 general election was 65.1% higher than the previous two general elections, but still the third lowest since the introduction of universal suffrage. Turnout at the last general election was also low compared with turnout at the last parliamentary elections in other European Union countries. There is also evidence that a significant number of people in the UK are not registered to vote, with the most recent estimates indicating that the electoral register was between 85 and 87% complete. This would mean that approximately 6.5 million people are missing from the electoral register. In light of this, the Political and Constitutional Reform Committee agreed to conduct an inquiry into voter registration and turnout in the UK.

In theory, parliamentary elections are a contest between political parties whose leaders do not have a separate identity from their party in the public eye. This case study of Britain shows that this theory no longer holds; the dynamics of parliamentary elections have become more 'presidential' in the sense that the leaders of the major parties now figure more prominently on both media coverage of the campaign and in the party that voters choose at the polls. The implications for our understanding of parliamentary democracy are discussed.
