India is the largest democratic country in the world. In democracy, people and system together take decisions. Since all citizens cannot be directly involved in the decision making process, people choose their representatives, in this situation election is important. Elections are a symbol of the democratic process. Which has a big role in creating a system of governance run by the people, by the people, for the people. Election is the process in which citizens choose their representatives. These public representatives run the government. Decisions of millions of people are not taken directly but are taken by representatives elected through the election process. The rule of the people in democracy is the rule run by the representatives of the people. In this way, citizens are indirectly involved in the formulation of policies and running of governance through their elected representatives. In this situation the decision of the elected representatives becomes important. Only the representatives elected by the people actively participate in the governance and administration of the country. These representatives are chosen by election or election. Election of these representatives is an important aspect in the democratic process.
There are some basic rules for elections in the constitution of any democratic country. These include who is eligible to vote, who is eligible to contest elections, who will oversee the election system, how citizens will choose their representatives, how votes will be counted and how representatives will be elected. To conduct elections, all democratic countries constitute Election Commission in their country. In our country, the Election Commission of India is committed to conduct the election process in a free and fair manner. The Election Commission of India is a constitutional body of the country, which was formed by the framers of the Constitution in 1950. This commission makes arrangements to conduct elections. There are authorities and rules for this which make the entire process fair.
In democratic elections, citizens decide by their votes which representative they want to elect or who will win the election. The citizen elects his representative by using his franchise. And hands over the rule to them. The citizen's right to vote is the right of the public to vote and elect representatives in the policy making elections. Therefore, voting rights in elections are the core of the democratic system. This franchise is also a personal expression of sovereignty. The essence of popular sovereignty is a decision taken by everyone, which affects everyone. Voting rights fulfill this purpose. In this way, elections play an important role in ensuring citizen participation.
This is a celebration of a drop of ink, this is a celebration of enriching and empowering democracy, this is a celebration of the election of a transparent and responsible government. This is a celebration. This celebration of exercising the rights of a common man is a drop of ink and assurance on the finger that the roots of India's democracy are strong and our Constitution protects their fundamental rights. India's democracy is the most corrupt in the world It is a big and prosperous democracy. The legislature functions as a temple of democracy with equality for all religions. To make it smooth and transparent, elections for the Legislative Assembly and the Lok Sabha are held every five years under normal circumstances. This year in 2023, the bugle of assembly elections has been sounded in five states of the country. To protect against political interference and 4. wooing of voters, the Election Commission has implemented a code of conduct in which the government will remain in power till the election results are declared but its power to make populist announcements has diminished. Now, in a way, it is a caretaker government and a new government is formed with the election results. As soon as the election date is announced, the Model Code of Conduct comes into force with immediate effect in the states where elections are to be held. All these actions and procedures take place to complete the process of making the elections transparent. Voters should not get confused nor should they get misled by any political party and should not lose their exclusive vote and their rights.
The first general election in the federal system of India was held in 1952 and after this the series of state assembly elections started. According to the constitutional process, governments are elected every five years, but in some odd situations their tenure is also reduced. After independence, from 1952 to 2023, such a difficult situation has arisen in the Indian society when the governments have not been able to complete their stipulated five-year term, which we call mid-term elections. The same entire procedure has to be followed in mid-term elections also so that a clean And a permanent government can be formed.
From Gram Panchayat elections to Assembly and Lok Sabha elections, each vote is valuable. This vote is the power of the common man who selects the government of his choice. According to the Indian Constitution, every citizen of India who is 18 years of age or above. They have been given the right to vote. Voting is not just a right, it is a fundamental pillar of democracy that empowers citizens to shape the future of their country. In India, the act of voting holds immense importance, as it gives voice to the dreams, concerns and aspirations of millions of people. By performing this important civic duty, every citizen can contribute towards a better India. Become an agent of change while working goes.
According to the changing times and the needs of the increasing population, there have been many changes in the voting process. Voting is a process by which the public accepts its representative by voting for him. Consider the changed method of voting and some important facts-
1. From ancient voting boxes to today's voting machines, we have changed in different ways.
2. Earlier in the general elections, ballot boxes were kept inside the polling booth for each candidate. Today voting machines have been invented through which voters cast their votes.
3. Each box had the name of the candidate and his symbol displayed both inside and outside the box.
4. The voter had to stamp the name of the preferred candidate.
5. Earlier the process of voting was very complicated but today the process of voting has become simple for every person. The public elects its favorite person by casting its vote and elects it as its public representative.
The Indian Constitution accepted the principle of secularism and the importance of the individual. By erasing the difference between the rich and the poor, the difference between religion, caste and sect, and the difference between men and women, every adult citizen has been given the invaluable right to vote to form the government of the country or to elect their representative. From this point of view also, Indian democracy has special importance. Whereas in Western countries, as the democratic system has now developed, voting rights were not suddenly granted to all adult citizens. Gradually, over the centuries, they have granted voting rights to all their adult citizens.
