Famous slogans, election laws, and the Model Code of Conduct.
The main purpose of an election is to give people a chance to choose their representatives and preferred policies. To do this, candidates need to share their ideas!
In India, the official election campaign takes place over a two-week period. This window opens right after the final list of candidates is announced and closes on the date of polling. During this time, political leaders hold rallies, contact voters, and mobilize their supporters.
The process on election day using EVMs.
The climax of the electoral process happens on election day. This is when eligible voters head to a local polling booth—usually set up in a nearby school or government office.
Inside the booth, election officials verify your identity, place a distinct ink mark on your finger to prevent double voting, and allow you to cast your vote. To ensure fairness, agents of each candidate are allowed to sit inside the booth.
