----non-partisan election (novanet)----
As a councillor I am used to Independent Councillors. The difficulty is that though they have independence of accountability they have to win their support by argument and by doing deals with the big battalions who usually hold most of the votes. In the council I serve on there is an overwhelming Conservative majority for the first time (46 seats), next largest are Independents who club together to get committee places etc (7), Lib Dems (5) and Labour (3). The Conservatives used to be the second party and in ten years I can recollect very few cases of a whip being used. The great problem in local government is that all scrutiny panels and committees have to be politically balanced, This means places are allocated in the proportion of the number of seats held by each group. A group of one gets nothing. Independent or non-political is hard work because you are pushing against the tide.

Does a state hold primary as well as caucus both?
Some States hold Caucuses and some hold Primaries. A Caucus, as I understand it (from the British side of the herring pond) is a kind of internal Party talking shop, where party members discuss candidates then split into groups supporting each candidate until a point is reached where one candidate is by general consensus the favoured one. In a Primary, registered Party Members (and in some cases registered voters who are not members of any Party) vote by secret ballot on the list of candidates.

A special election, or a run-off would be the term for such an election. However, a majority is not required in congressional elections. The candidate with the most votes wins.

In this case, if there are several candidates receiving votes, a run-off might be held between the top two to determine the strongest candidate for the fall election. )
