The state legislative assembly and the Lok Sabha elections are on the basis of “universal adult franchise”
Every Indian citizen under democracy have every right to vote without any discrimination of race, sex, religion, caste, wealth, literacy, etc. when he/she is 18 years old.
This system is highly accountable in case of a very vast and highly populated country like India
Since, “universal adult franchise” makes our democracy as broad-based and also enhances the principle of equality.
This practice enables the minorities to hold their rights and also to enrich their self-respect and respect for the common people. Equality among the citizens is employed and made a path for the weaker section to rise.
