Abstract
The possibility of quantizing the electric charge in supersymmetric, technicolor, and composite models is examined by studying some specific examples. By requiring an anomaly-free theory, the appropriate symmetry-breaking pattern of the gauge group, and mass generation, the electric charges may be determined.Keywords
