Bond
When the state government or even a public agency needs to raise some money, there is always an alternative of getting to issue some bonds. A bond is usually a debt commitment that the financiers get to trade on the secondary market. The cash bond issuers usually get to gather from the shareholders and can be used for some capital expenditure schemes such as some new infrastructures. In various locations, some particular bond issues are usually subject to endorsement by supporters through a process called bond elections (Hirano et al. 91-108).
Prop
In California, a prop, also known as a proposition can be an initiative or a referendum measure that is usually submitted to the electorate for some direct decisions or some direct votes. If passed, the props can get to alter articles of the Constitution of California, their codes or even the statutes (Ryan et al. 662-673).
Absentee ballot
An absentee ballot usually gets to allow voters to vote despite being absent from the city or town, have some physical disabilities that prevent them from going to the polling stations or cannot go to the polling station due to their religious beliefs during the Election Day (Hirano et al. 91-108).
Provisional ballot
A provisional ballot is usually designed to allow voters whose names do not appear on the list of the registered voters due to administrative errors or if there is some questions about the eligibility of the said voters (Ryan et al. 662-673).
Office block ballot
This is a type of general elections poll in which the contestants for the elective offices are grouped together under the label of each office without the party designations. This ballot emphasizes voting for the individual candidate rather than for the party (Smartvoter.org).
