Abstract
This is a study of three nonpartisan elections during
1960-1961 in which decisions of local importance were
made by Wichita voters. The approach is that the voter was
an authoritative decision maker in each election and the decision
made was "partisan" in that the decision made was a
choice of one or more alternatives presented by groups or
persons who desired action directed at change or nonchange
within the community.1 The purpose of this study is to describe
the activities of groups or persons who seemed to advocate
actions directed at change or nonchange within the
community; to indicate the decisions made by the voters, either
in support or nonsupport of the described groups' or
persons' desired action; and to suggest characteristics
which might identify the groups of voters who supported either
change or nonchange within the community.
