Explanation:

Following are the unfair practices which are adopted during elections : 1. Booth capturing : Supporters or hired musclemen of party or a candidate gain physical control of a polling booth and cast false votes by threatening everyone or by preventing genuine voters from reaching the polling booth. 2. Rigging : Sometimes, a party or candidate is involved in fraud and malpractices to stay ahead of the others. It includes stuffing ballot boxes by a few persons using the votes of others, recording multiple votes by the same person; and bribing or coercing polling officers to favour a candidate. 3.Luring the voters : At times, day before the election is conducted, a party or candidate distributes money and liquor among the voters to obtain their favour on the day of election. 4. Caste/Religion based sentimental appeals : At times, the candidates appeal to the voters in the name of caste and religion. Such appeals, sometimes, have been seen to work. This lessens the quality of democratic elections. 5. Use of government resources : Many a times, it has been seen that the party in power uses various government resources in the elections.
