Election is our right . We should actively participate in it and select candidates who can run the government properly. Elections are held to formulate government in a country, by selecting and casting vote for the representative of the parties competiting. Every country had its own representative who are elected by the people and they are elected to run the country and to take important decisions regarding the nation. The need to select an individual to represent a nation is that the individual can take decisions for them as every individual has its own job. Without these representative there will be utter chaos as in India there are approximately 1.62 billion citizens and an individual can't taje decision if they have to ask or convince all the people of the country. This will not be possible as it will take alot of time and every individual has its own opinions and problems which can create problems in taking decisions. So the representative are chosen and elected so as to take decisions regarding the whole nation as whole and thinking about the benefits and drawbacks caused by decisions. The representative has to take decisions gor the majority impartially as he doesn't represent a single person, city, state, etc he represents the whole country and has to take measures anf decisions for the benefit of the majority. Every vote makes the difference as the representative is chosen by calculating the amount of votes the individual got. So every Individual in a country can make a difference by just casting his/her vote. Voting should be done by all citizens above 18 and make a difference in their lifes and improve yhe nations problems by casting and electing the individual of their preference.
