Question

why are electronal reforms necessary in India. give three reasons

Answer 1

 Electoral reforms are necessary in India to ensure free and fair elections. Over a period of time, the election commission may feel the need to bring in new changes so that the very ethos of free and fair election is not defeated.The term ‘Electoral Reform’ refers to the change in the systems of election process in order to improve on the desirability of the public in the election results. One of the prime factors in electoral reforms is the change in the process and procedure of voting System.

Electoral reforms are a must in India and to introduce these reforms, the younger generation and the middle-class need to be more sensitized hence making them more aware.

To make the younger generation more aware about the electoral reforms it is necessary that the universities in the country produces more people who knows the art of playing with democracy.

The role of the politician in this regard would be that, they would never allow these reforms.

There are 542 members in parliament since the 12th Lok Sabha elections, whereas during this period the population of the country has increased manifold and to add to that the voting age has been brought down to18 years.

To look at it in another way we will find that one Member of Parliament (MP) represents 1.2 million people which is something very unfortunate and needs to be changed immediately.

If we look into the issue of delimitation of constituencies in the country we will find that the boundaries have changed but the number of constituencies has remained the same. In this case the delimitation should have been in the number of voters and not the geographical boundaries.
