The state governs the "time," "place," and "manner" of elections.
- "Time" refers to when the elections are held, ensuring they are scheduled appropriately.
- "Place" determines the locations where voters can cast their ballots, guaranteeing accessibility.
- "Manner" regulates the procedures followed during elections, such as how votes are cast and counted.
By controlling these aspects, the state aims to uphold the integrity, fairness, and efficiency of the electoral process.
