Summary
In a democracy it is neither possible nor necessary for people to govern directly.
Elections take place regularly in any democracy.
A democracy requires a mechanism by which people can choose their representatives at regular intervals and change them if they wish to do so.
The best mechanism is election which is considered essential in our times for any representative democracy.
All democratic countries hold elections. There are countries where elections are held but they cannot be called democratic elections.
There are many merits and demerits in the process of election.
Our system of Election can be called 'General Elections.
In our country, elections are held every five years for the Central Government and State Government.
In our country we follow an area-based system of representation, these areas are called electoral constituencies.
The Indian Constitution gives the right to all its citizens to elect its representatives and also a chance to be elected as a representative.
Some constituencies are reserved for people who belong to the Scheduled Castes [SC] and Scheduled Tribes [ST].
Once the constituencies are decided, the next step is to decide who can and who cannot vote.
In the last few years a new system of Election Photo Identity Card [EPIC] has been introduced.
Anyone who can be a voter can also become a candidate in elections, but the only difference is that in order to be a candidate the minimum age is 25 years, while it is only 18 years for being a voter.
If Educational qualifications is made compulsory many uneducated people in India may lose their opportunity to stand for elections. This would go against the spirit of democracy.
Election campaigns help the voter to know more about the candidates , the Political Party they represent and the Party's policies.
Election campaigns take place for a two-week period between the announcement of the final list of candidates and the date of polling.
The final stage of an election is the day when the voters cast their vote. This day is usually called the election day.
In India, an independent and very powerful Election Commission (EC) conducts the elections and it ensures free and fair elections.
If all the citizens of a country participate in the election with enthusiasm and free-will, then it means that the elections in that country are free and fair.
The ultimate test of free and fair election is the acceptance of the election results by the voters.
The party that wins an election and forms government does so because people have chosen it over its rivals.
Citizens, social activists and organisations are demanding reforms in our electoral system, to eliminate the few draw-backs and make it perfect for the future
