Election is a process used for choosing a person for a post. Elections are done to choose a President, a Prime minister, M.L.A.'s and other important government officers. Elections are done by voting. The person who gets maximum votes, is considered for that particular post.

Elections in India are done by Election Commission of India.

Candidates are required to file their nomination papers with the Electoral Commission. Then, a list of candidates is published. No party is allowed to use government resources for campaigning. No party is allowed to bribe the candidates before elections. The government cannot start a project during the election period. Campaigning ends by 6:00 pm two days before the polling day.

The polling is held between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm. The Collector of each district is in charge of polling. Government employees are employed as poll officers at the polling stations. Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) are being used instead of ballot boxes to prevent election fraud. After the citizen votes his or her left index finger is marked with indelible ink.
