13.  Importance of Elections in India
Elections form the bedrock of the largest democracy in the world - India. Since Independence, as many as
15 Lok Sabhas have been formed through elections, the first one being held in 1951-52. The methodology
of election is through universal adult suffrage, whereby every citizen of India over 18 years of age is an
eligible voter in the eyes of the Constitution. Elections provide a way to the people to assert their voice,
opinion and choose the person whose priorities and ideas matches with them most. In India the elections
are not new and they started taking place before the independence from British rule itself. But before
independence the franchise was quit limited and very few were having rights to participate and vote. After
independence, India adopted universal adult suffrage and each adult Indian got the right to vote.
The importance of elections in India—and for that matter, in any democracy—is as follows:
Choice of leadership: Elections provide a way for the citizens of India to choose their leaders. They do so
by casting their vote in favour of the candidate or party whose views appeal to them. This ensures that the
will of the people is reflected in the elected candidates.
Change of leadership: Elections in India are also a platform for the public to voice their resentment
against a ruling party. By voting for other parties and helping elect a different government, citizens
demonstrate that they possess ultimate authority.
Political participation: Elections open the door for new issues to be raised in public. If a citizen of India
wishes to introduce reforms that are not the agenda of any of the parties, he or she is free to contest the
elections either independently or by forming a new political party.
Self-corrective system: Because elections are a regular exercise, occurring every five years in India, the
ruling parties are kept in check and made to consider the demands of the public. This works as a self-
corrective system whereby political parties review their performance and try to appease the voters.
With a population of over 1.2 billion (according to the 2011 census) spread across 28 states and 7 union
territories, India has a system of elections that is both daunting and praiseworthy.
