The five true statements are:

a. To vote a split ticket requires a knowledge of the qualifications of every candidate.

b. In order to vote, you must be 18 years of age and vote in your designated precinct.

d. One way to cut down on the number of elections would be to lengthen the term of office for elected officials.

e. Your name and address will be verified at a registration table.

g. The President and Vice-President are elected once every four years.

Some explanations:

a. A "split ticket" is when a person casts votes for candidates from different political parties for different positions up for election. For instance, the voter may support a presidential candidate who is a Republican but casts ballots for congressional candidates who are Democrats Voting a split ticket requires a knowledge of the qualifications of each candidate because you are voting according to each candidate's qualities and credentials, not just because of the political party backing the candidate. The opposite of a "split ticket" is a "straight ticket" or "straight-party voting." This means a voter selects all candidates for all offices on the ballot according to the political party they represent. Read more on -

b. You also have absentee voting options, but your votes are still registered in the precinct where you are a resident.

d. Yes, lengthening terms would cut down on the frequency of elections or number of offices on the ballot at election time. But in a democracy, we would question whether that's a good goal to be seeking. Elections hold public officials accountable to the public that they represent.

e. Some states have tried to impose voter i.d. requirements, but typically such moves are challenged in court because they discriminate against poorer voters who may not have drivers' licenses or easy access to get an official form of photo identification.

g. That on is pretty self-explanatory. The presidential election cycles every four years tend to draw more voters than "midterm" elections (in the middle of presidential terms).

By the way, in regard to item f about state offices, that statement is clearly false. The governors of most states, for instance, are elected to 4-year terms.
