The Election Process in India
India's election process involves several key stages, including voter registration, nomination of candidates, campaigning, voting, and count
Core concept
Before elections, eligible citizens aged 18 and above register as voters, and candidates file nominations to contest from specific constituencies.
How it works
During the campaign period, candidates and parties present their policies and promises to voters through rallies, media, and door-to-door outreach, following a model code of conduct.
Why it matters
On polling day, registered voters cast their vote using Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) at designated polling booths, ensuring a secure and organised process.
Key detail
After polling closes, votes are counted, and the candidate with the most votes in each constituency is declared the winner, forming the basis for government formation.
