Hint:
The first Indian election held in 1954. The voting age in the country is 18. Earlier you needed a voter-id card to vote. Everyone has their unique id through which you were allowed to vote. We choose one legislative commission party to run the country from which one of its chosen members become prime minister and one becomes president

Complete solution:

In India, it takes a period of two weeks from the date of polling to the final lists of candidates. In between this period, the candidates do a lot to reach maximum people: they contact their voters, conduct election meetings and so on. They also do publicity through newspapers, television channels, electron meetings, posters, etc. In election campaigns, the main focus is on the public's big issues to attract the public, they use catchy slogans to attract people.

As India has a vast diversity of religions and is one of the most populated countries, the thought process of people is too different. There are too many challenges in the Indian election system. Some of them are :

- Favoritism, populism, as these two factors affect the whole election system.
- As India is not that developed in terms of technology, manipulation of polling booths happens a lot.
- Bribery is the most common term in India and the most common challenge of the Indian election system.
- Reservation, A sacred term which is misused in many ways in India even in the election as well. Indian election system becomes a caste election system. Majority of the same caste people, chances of winning from the person from that caste increases.

Note:
 Indian election is the process where we choose the person who is going to run the country. Elections are a very important part of democracy. As though we get a chance to vote for the right person and people get all the rights. The most interesting part of the Indian election is the diversity of religion, caste, culture, language found in India.
