The term "election ban" describes the time frame during which a particular

guarantee impartial and fair elections. Aspiring politicians are expected to abstain from
any actions that could sway the results of the election during this time. Election bans are
They want to make sure that people running for public office aren't doing it to
further their own agendas or personal gain (Warren, 2010). Aspiring politicians must be
aware of and comprehend the implications of the election ban. It is imperative that they
acquaint themselves with the guidelines and protocols pertaining to the prohibition in
order to prevent inadvertent violations of any clauses. Aspiring politicians should also be
well-versed in the rationale behind the prohibition and how it affects the electoral
process. One issue that faces people who are banned from voting is that they are only
able to take part in politics for a limited amount of time. Election laws or regulations
prohibit candidates for public office in order to maintain free and democratic elections.
These prohibitions might include limitations on running for office, holding public
office, or participating in political actions. The election ban may make it more difficult for

and allows new candidates to compete more fairly by temporarily disqualifying them
from the race. (Source: Snyder and Ansolabehere, "The Incumbency Advantage in U.S.
Elections," 2002).
Aspiring politicians can safeguard their reputations and steer clear of controversy
by being aware of the election ban. A candidate's chances of winning the election may
suffer if they are accused of misconduct as a result of breaking the ban. Aspiring
lawmakers can preserve their credibility and integrity during the election process by
being aware of the ban and abiding by its provisions. Election bans are required to
maintain the legitimacy of the electoral process. Election bans are one tool that
incumbent politicians can use to reduce their advantage. Election bans are required to

Theoretical Framework
The altruism theory of voting is a model of voter behavior that holds that if
voters in a democracy have "social" preferences for the welfare of others, then
voting will be rational for an "altruistic" citizen who derives utility from helping others
because the large cumulative benefits of enacting the voter's preferred policy will
outweigh the extremely low probability of a single vote determining an election. [1]
Altruistic voting has been compared to buying a lottery ticket, in which the expected

As a result, the National Rifle Association (NRA) started participating in politics and
succeeded in overturning the ban on handguns. Throughout the majority of the 20th and

argued that there was no such thing as a right to bear arms, that it was necessary to
outlaw the possession of firearms for self-defense, and that gun ownership for sports
purposes should only be permitted under extremely strict circumstances. The opposition
claimed that all gun control laws violated the unalienable right to bear arms. The cases
had been settled in most cases by the time Heller and McDonald appeared before the
Supreme Court. The Second Amendment right to keep and carry arms, particularly for
self-defense, is a basic individual right. The Supreme Court upheld this consensus
rather than creating any new ground. Still, this right is not unqualified. Certain laws
restricting access to firearms, especially those that target individuals who have

gun control. Utilizing information from the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and
Research's National Survey of Gun Policy, which was conducted in 2013, 2015, 2017,
and 2019, we looked at patterns of support for over two dozen gun laws over time by
state, political party, and gun ownership status. During the course of the study, the
majority of the policies that we looked at were supported. We found that public support
for stricter regulation of gun dealers, licensing and background checks for all handgun
purchases, and extreme risk protection orders increased over time. There were
significant differences in support for other concealed carry policies based on the
ownership status of firearms, but both gun owners and non-owners strongly supported
According to a new survey question from 2019, 84% of Americans were in favor
of making first-time gun buyers complete a safety course. Even though the topic of gun
policy is still very divisive, the vast majority of people, including those who do not own

Legislators and the general public are actively looking for ways to address the
tragic deaths that are regularly reported in the news. Still, there's a lot of disagreement
about the right course of action. The main issues in this debate are who should possess
firearms, how they should be kept under surveillance, what kind of weapons are
appropriate for civilian use, and whether or not civilians should be permitted to carry and
own weapons. The study makes the case that people who abuse firearms for
destructive ends rather than just the existence of firearms in society are the main cause
of excessive gun violence. While laws restricting gun ownership are an attempt by
governments to improve public safety, opinions on whether or not these laws actually
lessen violence vary. In fact, some argue that they may make it worse.
Children's firearm injuries, both fatal and nonfatal, are a serious concern in
American society. From a low of 1.71 per 100,000 firearm deaths in 2013 to 2.22 per
100,000 in 2016 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2018), the rate of
years, making it the second leading cause of death for children and adolescents in the
US (Cunningham et al., 2018). In addition, the issue of preventing child fatalities from
firearms has gained prominence due to recent mass shootings at elementary and
secondary schools.
Federal and state laws in the United States are tools used to try and lessen the
number of firearm-related injuries and fatalities, whether they result from accidental,
gun laws on firearm outcomes have been conducted in recent years (see, for instance,
specifically examined the effects of firearms on children and adolescents, but the
general conclusions imply that certain gun laws, such as those requiring criminal
fatalities. Over the lifespan, different types of firearm-related injuries can occur. First,
age has an impact on the mechanism of firearm injury. For instance, children under the
age of ten seldom commit suicide in any form, but among the top 10 causes of injury
deaths for this age group in the US are firearm homicide and unintentional firearm
deaths (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2018). Moreover, individuals aged
10 years and older have a significantly higher incidence of firearm-related homicide and
suicide (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2018). Moreover, individuals aged
10 years and older have a significantly higher incidence of firearm-related homicide and
suicide (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2018). Second, the causes of
firearm deaths differ according to age as well. For instance, while intimate partner
violence accounts for just 9% of firearm homicides among those under the age of 18,
when the age range is restricted to 0–12, intimate partner violence accounts for 31% of
13–17. The number of kids who die as a result of intimate partner violence suggests
that limiting access to firearms for victims of domestic abuse may protect kids as well as
intimate partners. Similarly, making it harder for kids to obtain firearms—for example, by
enacting child access prevention (CAP) laws—may reduce accidental firearm deaths
initiatives.
Liquor Ban
An examination of the current alcohol and tobacco control laws and policies in
Singapore and the Philippines is done in comparison by Gianna Gayle Herrera Amul
and Jean-Francois Etter in the International Journal of Public Health, 67, 1605050,
2022. Utilizing a framework for public health law that integrates a systems approach
through a scorecard, we evaluated the tobacco and alcohol control progress of the
Philippines and Singapore based on SDG indicators, the WHO Framework Convention
on Tobacco Control, and the WHO Global Strategy to Reduce Harmful Use of Alcohol.
The scientific literature and official government documents provided the data.
Despite disparities in their health systems, Singapore (86.5) and the Philippines (73.5)
both achieved strong scores for alcohol control but only weak or moderate ones for
tobacco control (35.5 and 52.5). Both offer avenues for policy that support marketing
industry influence, and support alcohol harm prevention and tobacco cessation. A
health system-based scorecard was used to help set policy benchmarks, highlight
opportunities and gaps in these two countries, and pinpoint areas where current policies

In contrast to their peers who do not attend college, 53.6% of college students
between the ages of 18 and 22 reported drinking alcohol in the previous month,
according to the 2017 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) (Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2018). Thirty-five percent of college
students reported binge drinking (defined as having five or more drinks in one sitting;
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2018). Heavy drinkers in
college run the risk of seriously hurting themselves and other people. According to
Hingson et al. (2009), there were approximately 1,825 alcohol-related deaths among
students ages 18 to 24 enrolled in 2- and 4-year colleges nationwide in 2005, the most
recent year for which data are available. Additionally, 599,000 students suffered injuries,
696,000 were hit or assaulted, and 97,000 became victims of sexual assault or date
rape at the hands of a drunken student. According to Barnett et al. (2014), students who
drink more are more likely to have acute negative outcomes—like blackouts, physical

2009; Yoon et al., 2014; Zeigler et al., 2005). It is important to remember that excessive
drinking can have negative effects on students as well as the surrounding communities,
including crime, property damage, and noise disturbances (Wechsler et al., 2002a;
Wechsler et al., 1995). Prior studies suggest that policies implemented at the state and
local levels to modify the alcohol environment are linked to a decrease in alcohol

embraces the viewpoint of the candidate or the voter, a vot is essentially "bought" or
"sold." From this angle, vote buying can be understood as a contract or even an auction

predicated on the idea that payment increases voter turnout and/or the paying
candidate's or party's vote share. The debate in the literature between swing targeting
and party loyalty and vote buying's efficacy is evident. Adhering to the party loyalist
voters who are predisposed to support them, the payment appears to be more about
encouraging apathetic supporters to cast their ballots in person than it does about
The swing-voter hypothesis, on the other hand, suggests that the money actually
works to buy an undecided voter's support. In this instance, the distributing party is
more concerned with voting choice than with the recipients' turnout at the polls (Nichter,
2008). Under the turnout-buying model, givers can be sure that the voter will select
them if a passive supporter bothers to show up. This stands in stark contrast to the

swing-voter school's model, which states that the vote buyer cannot be certain whether
the recipient will cast their ballot for the buyer or for another candidate even if they show
up at the polls.
Betting on Election
No person shall make, lay or deposit any bet, wager or stake, to be decided by
the result of any election, by the election or defeat of one or more persons at any
election, or by any contingency connected with or growing out of any election. All
contracts for or on account of any money, property or thing in action so bet, wagered or
staked shall be void. Any person who shall pay, deliver or deposit any money, property
or thing in action upon the event of any bet, wager or stake prohibited by this section,
may sue for and recover the same from the winner or person to whom the same, or any
part thereof, shall have been paid or delivered, or with whom the same, or any part
thereof, shall have been deposited, whether he shall have been a stakeholder, or other
person, whether or not the same shall have been paid over by such stakeholder, or
whether or not such bet, wager or stake shall have been lost.
No candidate for public office, before or during an election, shall make any bet or
wager with a voter, or take a share or interest in, or in any manner become a party to
such bet or wager, or provide or agree to provide any money to be used by another in
making such bet or wager, upon any event or contingency whatever. No person, directly
or indirectly, shall make a bet or wager with a voter, depending upon the result of any

Election-related wagering has a long history, despite times when it was illegal
and even unenforceable (Graeme Orr, Federal Law Review 42 (2), 309–331, 2014).
Due in large part to the bookmaking industry in those jurisdictions that allow political
betting, sizable online markets have developed in recent years. Election bets are
handled as sports bets in these markets. The history and common law regulations
surrounding election betting are examined in this article. It follows a path from early
case law that declared elector wagers invalid (for tainting voting decisions) to criminal
prohibitions, some of which remain in place today (because wagers could pass for
electoral bribery), and finally to modern systems for granting licenses for electoral
bookmaking.
The concept of commodification, the precautionary principle, and the liberal harm
principle are normative arguments concerning election betting and the law. The article's
conclusion is that friendly bets ought to be allowed in order to give partisans more
chance that bets on politicians will be commodified, it is best to ban them and

rely on the ability of many participants to quickly and affordably place bets on the results

according to Fredén et al., (2020). Nevertheless, a lot of people choose to support the

preferred party is among the general public. Voters tend to overestimate the chances of
underdogs winning when social networks act as echo chambers, a phenomenon seen in
real-life networks. We run voting experiments where a simulated network sends signals

degree of support for underdogs, lending credence to anecdotal reports that echo
