- 7. An election is democratic when it truly allows the people to choose and change their rulers. Several conditions must be met. First, everyone should be able to vote, and every vote should have equal value, ensuring political equality. Second, there should be a genuine choice, with different candidates and parties competing, so that voters can pick whoever they really want. Third, elections must be held regularly, at fixed intervals, rather than only when it suits the rulers. Fourth, the people in power should be able to be voted out if the electorate is dissatisfied with them. Finally, the entire process — from preparing the voters' list to casting and counting votes — must be free and fair, without intimidation, fraud or unfair advantage to any side. Only when all these conditions are present can an election be called genuinely democratic.
