Women Representation In Local Level Election

Election forms the cornerstone of representative democracy. It not only enables citizens to pick the leaders of their choice but also helps them hold elected officials accountable to their actions. Election is the most accepted political process to ensure legitimacy and viability of the given system. It energises the system by sending fresh people’s representatives into the governance body. As the people elect the candidates who share their ideology and values, it helps to connect each other, thereby spurring the political and social integration. As the periodic polls oblige the leaders to seek fresh mandate, they also act as an effective antidote to corruption that deprives the commoners of access to resources and opportunities in the society. Informed electorates give the corrupt and immoral politicians their marching orders in each election cycle.
