Abstract
The article provides the overall assessment of current problems of the US election law and electoral process at federal and local levels; the state of the US election law and ongoing scientific discussions on it; leading legal doctrines; historical aspect and modern trends important for the understanding of the role and aim of US electoral and law enforcement processes. The author analyzes the empirical material - US legislation at the national, state and local levels; resolutions of the US Supreme Court and other courts; sub-legal regulatory acts (instructions, recommendations, application forms), scientific publications and monographs on the topic under study. The research methodology consisted of comparative legal, formal legal, formal dogmatic, concrete sociological, empirical, dialectical, analytical methods, and a systemic approach. The works of Thomas M. Cooley and John F. Dillon that so far have not been covered in the Russian literature are introduced. All US federal laws relating to election law, including current changes, have been studied and summarized. Interpretations of certain provisions of the law and legal framework of US election law and law enforcement practice are provided. The lacunae of legislation requiring additional research have been revealed.
