Question

What makes elections in India democratic?

Answer 1

Hint:
Democracy is a system of government in which citizens have the right to select their legislation regulating them. Key questions for democratic theory, creation and constitution are who people are and how power is shared among them.

Complete solution:
 In India, elections are considered democratic for the following reasons:

Each citizen has a right to vote, i.e. to choose their representative, without discrimination, and to consider their vote equal.
It allows voters and parties to hold elections openly and equally.
It also offers a range of options for residents to select their representatives.
It gives the people an option at regular intervals to select their ruler.


The Election Commission is a federal body constituted in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution, which is responsible for monitoring and overseeing all of India's electoral processes. This body is responsible for ensuring that without any prejudice, elections are free and fair.

It shall ensure that pre-elections, during elections, and post-elections are carried out by members in compliance with legislative legislation.

It also manages all election-related conflicts. The Supreme Court of India has held that the Election Commission has the residual powers under the Constitution to act as necessary if the enacted laws are silent or do not make adequate provision to deal with a given situation in the conduct of elections.

Note:
 Members of Lok Sabha (House of the People) or the lower house of India's Parliament are elected by being voted upon by all adult citizens of India, from a set of candidates who stand in their respective constituencies.Candidates who win the Lok Sabha elections are called 'Member of Parliament' and hold their seats for five years or until the body is dissolved by the President on the advice of the council of ministers.
