Elections

Elections are formal processes through which individuals or groups select candidates to fill public offices or make decisions on specific issues. They typically involve voting, where eligible citizens express their preferences for candidates or policies. Elections can take various forms, including general elections, primaries, referendums, and local contests. The democratic principle behind elections is to enable citizens to participate in governance and have a say in the leadership and direction of their government or community. The rules governing elections, including how votes are cast and counted, vary by country and region, reflecting different political systems and cultural practices.
