Concept Notes
India is the largest democracy in the world. Elections are the most important and important part of politics in a democratic country. A good democracy can only function if elections to positions of power are free and fair and lead to democratic victory. General elections, union elections, state and local elections, form one of the most important principles of such a democracy at regular intervals. General elections such as union, state and local elections are among the most important principles of such a democracy at regular intervals.
Elections are a means of expressing people’s attitudes, values and beliefs about the political environment from time to time, expressing confidence in the government and changing it when necessary. Electoral reform means introducing fair electoral systems to conduct fair elections, and electoral reform changes electoral systems to improve how public desires are reflected in election results. It also includes restoring existing systems to improve and increase their efficiency. From time to time the Electoral Commission and the judiciary have ensured free and fair elections. The Electoral Commission has taken a number of new initiatives to clean up the electoral process in India.
The electoral reforms are a number of positive steps in the electoral system to better reflect the public’s desires in election results. The transition from secret ballot boxes to EVMs, the introduction of the concept of adult voting rights and the much-needed autonomy of electoral commissions are clear examples of the changes made by the government. Today we believe that there is a great need in our country for electoral reforms and two-day national conferences to consider these issues and finalize recommendations for best electoral practices in the current electoral context. This conference attempted to propose possible reforms that would address some of the key problems in the current electoral system. The implementation of local, state parliament and trade union elections is currently facing major challenges. Money is a major challenge to free and fair elections.
This National Conference provides an opportunity for experts from different disciplines to meet and share their to exchange valuable thoughts, impressions and research studies on the following topics related to important issues of the electoral process and reforms in India.
