Following are the demerits of election-

1. A lot of money is spent on conducting elections and an enormous amount is spent by the participants for campaigning.

2. The elections cause uncertainty in the ruling class. Each party has a slightly different way of interpreting rules, which causes a little confusion among stakeholders in the way they have to deal with government.

3. There is also an apparent problem of taking populist measures before elections even though such actions eventually hurt the economy or social structure of the country.

Hope it helps

ebinsbt: Demerits of elections:-
Since the number of voters are very small. There exists possibility of corruption, bribery, horse trading etc.
It is less democratic because people do not have direct opportunity to elect, they instead do through their representatives. So, this may not reflect the true will of the people.

ebinsbt: Demerits of election:- elections are very expensive. It incurs huge expenditure on the public exchequer. For example in the nine phased 2014 Lok Sabha elections, a whopping 30,000 crore was spent by the government, political parties and candidates. Out of which, the Election Commission alone spent 3,426 crores.
Illiterate voters sometimes gets misguided by false propaganda and sometimes vote taking in to caste, religious and various other sectarian consideration.
