About the Book

A democracy is meaningless without the possibility of free and fair elections. The Electoral System of any country sets the stage for the further development of the nation and the availability of the fundamental freedoms to the people. A parliamentary democracy flourishes under a transparent and strong system of conducting elections. This book deals with the issues and challenges of the Indian Electoral System. It carries inputs from various academicians and professionals discussing the different features and the issues surrounding this system, including the challenges of election manifestos; participation of citizens; electronic voting; electoral rolls; the 10th Schedule; exit and opinion polls; electoral reforms; responsibilities of social media; political and constitutional issues; right to vote for the intellectually disabled; women representation; and residency requirements. The book will be of relevance to a wide audience as it deals with both the social and legal aspects of the Electoral System in India. It is a reference book which opens the doors for a deeper research on the subject and would be useful for lawyers, legislators, academics, political leaders, policymakers and students.
