Answer 1

Answer:

Times since independence, general elections in India have come a long way, but throughout this post-independence era they have truly reflected the federal nature of the Indian polity. When in the neighboring countries of India, still ballot-paper polling is still in practice, Indian voting system has moved onto electronic voting machines. Certainly, this has eased up and fast-tracked the polling process but still there is a lot of scope for improvements. Main aim of conducting elections in any region is to act as a filter to prevent the 'rouge' elements from entering in the legislative process and at the same time reflect the true voice of the poorest of the poor man. Unfortunately, elections in India still have a long way to go in this respect.

Past few decades have seen dramatic tectonic shifts on the Indian mainland, not in terms of physical but in terms of cultural, political and economic. India which was predominantly an agriculture dependent country where its most of the populations resided in the villages itself during British regime, is accelerating towards manufacturing and services sector. This has led to mass movement of population from villages towards cities and when this migrated class tries to apply for renewal in its voter ids thus becomes a victim of red tape and gets secluded from the poll process. If India aims to reach a 100% voting mark, it will have to solve this problem sooner or later. Election Commission can start e-voting for the people who can cast their votes sitting miles away from their homeland and at the same time issue e-voter id cards to the working class. With the advent of 3G and broadband, this would be no big deal for the IT giants of the country. At the same time it would not only open new sources of employment for the IT professionals in times of recession but at the same time bring down the election budget.
