Question

3. How does democracy promote equality and justice? 4. How are elections held in India?​

Answer 1

Answer:

3. Democracy doesn't ensure equality. Democracy ensures justice equally for all. Equality is not attainable, doesn't matter in which system.

4. (ii) Voters' List: Once the constituencies are decided, the next step is to decide who can and who cannot vote. 

(iii) Nomination of Candidates: Every person who wishes to contest an election has to fill a nomination form by the due date, which the Election Commission fixes.

(iv) Election Campaign: Election campaigns take place for a two-week period between the announcement of the final list of candidates and the date of polling. 

v) Polling and Counting of Votes: The final stage of an election is the day when the voters cast or poll their vote.

That day is usually called the election day.Once the polling is over, all the EVMs are sealed and taken to a secure place. A few days later, on a fixed date, all the EVMs from a constituency are opened and the votes secured by each candidate are counted. The candidate who secures the highest number of votes from a constituency is declared elected.
