Elections

Elections are formal processes through which individuals vote to select representatives or make decisions on specific issues. They are a fundamental mechanism in democratic systems, allowing citizens to express their preferences on governance and public policy. Elections can occur at various levels, including local, regional, and national, and can involve multiple types of positions, such as legislatures, executives, and referendums. The electoral process typically includes voter registration, campaigning, voting, and the counting of votes, followed by the announcement of results. Elections are intended to ensure that leaders are chosen by popular consent and are accountable to the electorate, facilitating participation in governance and reflecting the will of the population.
