How can we check the quality of the election process?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The quality of an election process can be checked in three ways:
(i) Who conducts the Election: Indian elections are conducted by an independent Election Commission, which has the power to even reprimand the government and the administration for their lapses.
(ii) Popular Participation: If the election process is not free and fair, people do not participate in the electoral process. So, the turn-out of the election is also a way to check the quality of the election process.
(iii) Acceptance of the outcome: If the election is not free and fair, the outcome always favour the powerful and the losing party does not accept the outcome. So, to assess the quality of election process, one can check the response of the losing party.
