Explanation:
There are different ways to organize an election in different countries. Voters might vote for an individual, or they might vote for a political party (party list). ... Elections keep a democratic country functioning, as they give people the right to select their own government.
Answer:
A rule of the people is possible without any elections if they can sit together everyday and take all the decisions but as we know that it is not possible in a large community. That is why elections took place to choose people's representative .
It is a mechanism by which people can choose their representative at regular intervals and change them if they wish to do. This is called election.
