Question

What is election? What are the types of elections are conducted in India?

Answer 1

Answer:

General election (Lok sabha) : This is the important election that takes place once in 5 years to elect 543 members for the Parliament (Lower house). A party needs 272 MPs to stake claim to form the Central Government. If a party doesn't have 272 MPs on its own it can ally with other parties and form the government. Leader of the party/alliance takes oath as the Prime Minister.

2) Rajya sabha Elections (upper House) : Rajya sabha is the Upper house and its members are not directly elected by the people. They are elected by the Members of Legislative Assembly of the respective states. Rajya Sabha MP has a 6 year term

3) State Assembly Elections: People directly elect their representatives for the Legislative assembly. Total strength of each assembly depends on each State, mostly based on size and population .

Eg: Tamil Nadu has 234 MLAs while Delhi has 70 MLAs

Similar to Lok sabha elections, leader of the majority party/alliance takes oath as Chief Minister

4) Local Body Elections : In this case as well, people directly elect their representatives for a smaller geographical area. There are different types of local bodies. Corporations, Municipalities, Panchayats, etc.

Eg: In Tamil Nadu Chennai, Coimbatore, Trichy, etc are corporations and they elect a Mayor and also Ward Councillors. A ward is typically a very small geographical area. Unlike State and Central elections, people directly elect the Mayor. In most cases the party which has majority Councillors will also hold the mayor post because of popular support. People generally vote based on parties , not on any individuals.

And to answer your question "Can a 24 yrs boy win those elections without spending money?"

No. First you need to be minimum 25 years to contest in an Election. And, second irrespective of your age you need to spend lot of money to win an election unless you have supreme popularity in your area owing to your good works.
