Essay on election.............
Answers
An election is an event in which one or more people make a choice, such as selecting representatives. Elections are held by many different kinds of organizations, such as corporations, nonprofit organizations, and governments. A "free and fair" election is one in which people have meaningful opportunity to participate not only in the voting itself but in the campaigns leading up to the voting. This implies the freedom to run for office, to speak out in support of a candidate of one's choice, and so on, without fear of official reprisals.
Since incumbents and their appointees are in charge of writing, enforcing and interpreting the laws governing ballot access, voter registration, and so on, there is always a danger that the party in power will attempt to manipulate the process in a way that will produce a favorable outcome for it. Also, the more influence the incumbents have over the economy, the more dissidents' political freedom tends to be curtailed by pressure to conform to the will of those in power and by the difficulties involved in marshalling sufficient resources to campaign independently of the state's help. For such reason, elections in socialist nations tend to be relatively uncompetitive.
