General Election

Election is an important function in a democracy. A democratic government is formed by the people elected by the people. They work for the welfare of the people. Elections help us to elect eminent and service minded people to rule the county or a state. In each state in India there is an assembly. Member is chosen from the members who have got the majority.

He will appoint other ministers. Likewise at the centre members of parliament constitute the parliament. They are elected from each state. The Prime Minister is chosen from the party embers who have got the majority. The other ministers are chosen by the Prime Minister. Elections are conducted by the Election Commission.

General elections are held once in five years. The Parties that want to contest in the election have to get their symbols sanctioned by the election have to get their symbols sanctioned by the election commissioner. The contesting candidates have to obey the rules framed by the commission. They should not bride the voters of indulge in anti-social activities.

This should short cut way to win in the elections. At present, booth catching has become a common scene. Murders, kidnapping and bribing the voters, have also entered into the election scene. Still we need proper education to live in a democracy. Most of us have not understood the meaning and value of democracy. We have to preserve democracy as it is the best form of government.
