explain how the outcome of elections is a final test of free and fair elections
Answers
The following points state outcomes of elections in India
(i) The ruling parties routinely lose elections in India both at the national and state levels.
In fact in every two out of the three elections held in the last fifteen years, the ruling party lost.
(ii) Candidates who are known to have spent a lot of money on ‘buying votes’ and those with known criminal connections often lose elections.
(iii) Barring very few disputed elections, the electoral outcomes are usually accepted as ‘people’s verdict’ by defeated party.
So, considering the above points, it is truly said that one final test of the free and fairness of election lies in the outcome itself.
The outcome of the elections being fair and free can be understood from the lack of protests put up by any political party regarding the dishonest methods taken by ruling parties to skew the votes in their favor.
Explanation:
- In India, the election is considered to be one of the biggest events of the nation, and the whole country is encouraged to be a part of it and to elect a well-deserved government.
- However, no matter what precautions are taken, the ruling party or the oppositions are known to depend on a number of dishonest methods to either mess with the EVM machines or to stop voters from voting and others.
- In an election, when no political parties raise objections regarding the method in which the election has been conducted shows that the election is fair and proper.
