Question

Elections are very important for smooth functioning of democracy

Answer 1

Answer:

Elections keep a democratic country functioning, as they give people the right to select their own government.

Democracy is a system of government in which the citizens exercise power directly or elect representatives from among themselves to form a governing body, such as a parliament. It is also referred as “rule of the majority”. Here the power can’t be inherited. People elect their leaders. Representatives stand in an election and the citizens vote for their representative. The representative with the most number of votes gets the power.
