Elections

Elections are formal processes through which individuals or groups make choices or select representatives for public office. They are a fundamental component of democratic systems, where eligible citizens have the opportunity to vote for candidates or policy proposals. Elections can occur at various levels, including local, regional, and national, and can take different forms such as general, primary, or special elections.

The process typically includes voter registration, campaigning, casting votes, and counting results. Elections are designed to reflect the will of the electorate and ensure accountability of elected officials. Fair and free elections are essential to uphold democratic principles, allowing for peaceful transitions of power and citizen participation in governance.
