Question. 2. What makes elections in India democratic ? Explain.[CBSE 2013,14,15]
Answer. (i) An Independent Election
Commission : In our country, elections are conducted by an independent and a very powerful Election Commission (EC). It enjoys the same kind of independence that the judiciary enjoys. The Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) is appointed by the President Of India. But once appointed, the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) is not answerable to the President or the government. Even if the ruling party or the government does not like what the Commission does, it is virtually impossible for it to remove the CEC.
(ii) Popular Participation: In India, the poor, illiterate and underprivileged people vote in larger proportion as compared to the rich and the privileged sections. This is in contrast to western democracies. For example, in the United States of America, poor people, African-Americans and Hispanics vote much less than the rich and the white people.
(iii) Acceptance of election outcome: The outcome of India’s elections speaks for itself. The ruling parties routinely lose elections in India, both at the national and the state levels. In fact, in every two out of the three, elections held in the last fifteen years, the ruling party lost the power.

Question. 2. What is an election ? Discuss the importance of elections in a democracy.
Answer. An election is a contest between different political parties in order to get people’s support. Elections are exceptionally important in a democracy because of the following reasons:
(i) Without the elections, a democratic government cannot be set up. It has been rightly said, “ No election, no democracy.”
(ii) Through elections alone, the people can get rid of their cruel and unpopular government, and in its place, they can elect a new popular government.
(iii) It is through elections alone that an effective control can be maintained on the executive.
All the citizens in a modern democracy cannot run the administration. Only their representatives can do it for them. In order to choose such representatives, the elections are a must.
