An election is a process where people choose their leaders or representatives by voting.

✨ Key points about elections:

They are the heart of democracy.

Citizens cast their votes (using ballot papers, EVMs, or online systems in some places).

The person/party with the most votes usually wins.

Elections can be held for president, prime minister, parliament, local councils, school councils, and more.

They make sure that power belongs to the people — leaders change if people want change.

👉 Example: In India, general elections happen every 5 years to choose Members of Parliament (MPs), who then help form the government.
