But do we need elections? Elections are very much
important as in all democracies people rule
through their representatives.
In an election the voters make many choices:

• They can choose who will form the government and take
major decisions.
• They can choose the party whose policies will guide the
government and law making.

democratic countries hold elections.But most
non-democratic countries also hold elections.
Minimum conditions of a democratic election:
Everyone should be able to choose.This means
everyone should have one vote and every vote
should have equal value.

4. Is it good to have political
competition?

against one another.
