MAIN OBJECTIVES 
I. UNDERSTANDING VOTING SYSTEM THROUGH A EXAMPLE. 
II. TO ANALYZE THE NEED FOR ELECTIONS IN INDIA
OVERVIEW 
I. The most common form of democracy in 
our times is for the people to govern 
through their representatives. In this 
chapter we will look at how these 
representatives are elected. We try to 
understand how electoral competition 
among parties serves the people.
INTRODUCTION TO ELECTIONS 
1. It is a process through which people chose their representatives in 
a democracy after a specified period. 
2. An election helps a voter make choices such as – 
i. Choose who will form the government and take the policy decisions. 
ii. Choose the party whose policies will direct the government. 
iii. Choose who will prepare laws for the people.
ELECTIONS 2014-INDIA
ASSEMBLY ELECTION IN HARYANA 
loans of farmers and 
small businessmen. He 
promised that this would 
be the first action of his 
government. The people 
were unhappy with the 
existing government. 
They were also attracted 
by Devi Lal’s promise. So, 
when elections were held, 
they Voted 
overwhelmingly in favour 
of Lok Dal and its allies. 
Lok Dal and its partners 
won 76 out of 90 seats in 
the State Assembly. Lok 
Dal alone won 60 seats 
and thus had a clear 
majority in the Assembly. 
This newspaper report is 
about the State assembly 
election in Haryana in 
1987. The State had been 
ruled by a Congress party 
led government since 
1982. Chaudhary Devi Lal, 
then an opposition leader, 
led a movement called 
‘Nyaya Yudh’ (Struggle for 
Justice) and formed a new 
party, Lok Dal. His party 
joined other opposition 
parties to form a front 
against the Congress in 
the elections. In the 
election campaign, Devi 
Lal said that if his party 
won the elections, his
HARYANA RECENT VOTINGS
WHY DO WE NEED ELECTIONS 
1. Elections take place regularly in any democracy. 
2. Why do we need elections? Let us try to imagine a democracy without 
elections. A rule of the people is possible without any elections if all the 
people can sit together everyday and take all the decisions. But as we have 
already seen in Chapter Two, this is not possible in any large community. 
Nor is it possible for everyone to have the time and knowledge to take 
decisions on all matters. Therefore in most democracies people rule 
through their representatives. 
3. Is there a democratic way of selecting representatives without elections? 
Let us think of a place where representatives are selected on the basis of 
age and experience. Or a place where they are chosen on the basis of 
education or knowledge. There could be some difficulty in deciding on who 
is more experienced or knowledgable. But let us say the people can resolve 
these difficulties. Clearly, such a place does not require elections.
ELECTORAL MACHINES-INDIA
WHY DO WE NEED ELECTIONS 
1. But can we call this place a democracy? 
2. How do we find out if the people like their representatives or not? 
3. How do we ensure that these representatives rule as per the wishes of the 
people? 
4. How to make sure that those who the people don’t like do not remain their 
representatives?
WHY DO WE NEED ELECTIONS 
Answer . 
1. This requires a mechanism by which people can choose their 
representatives at regular intervals and change them if they wish to do so. 
2. This mechanism is called election. Therefore, elections are considered 
essential in our times for any representative democracy. 
3. In an election the voters make many choices: 
1. They can choose who will make laws for them. 
2. They can choose who will form the government and take major decisions. 
3. They can choose the party whose policies will guide the government and law making

FOR MAGESH 
In 1911, the German socialist Robert Michels published Political 
Parties, his analysis of socialist politics and the tendency for the 
structure of the modern electoral system to blunt revolutionary drives 
in leftist parties and towards reforms. This tension was the source of 
the early-20th century reform/revolution debate between Bernstein, 
Luxembourg, and Kautsky, and more recently the Realo/Fundi debate 
in the Germany Green Party. We propose to examine the tendency of 
leftist parties committed to social transformation to bend to the 
realities of the representative electoral system and abandon 
revolutionary aims once they have a chance of becoming a successful 
electoral machine. Is this an inevitable result of electoral politics in 
the modern era? Is there another way for left-wing political parties to 
remain committed to radical change? Or is a new approach necessary 
after a century of engagement with electoral politics? Is Michel's Iron 
Law of Oligarchy too strong to break?

  • 4. INTRODUCTION TO ELECTIONS 1. It is a process through which people chose their representatives in a democracy after a specified period. 2. An election helps a voter make choices such as – i.

  • 6. ASSEMBLY ELECTION IN HARYANA loans of farmers and small businessmen. He promised that this would be the first action of his government. The people were unhappy with the existing government. They were also attracted by Devi Lal’s promise. So, when elections were held, they Voted overwhelmingly in favour of Lok Dal and its allies. Lok Dal and its partners won 76 out of 90 seats in the State Assembly. Lok Dal alone won 60 seats and thus had a clear majority in the Assembly. This newspaper report is about the State assembly election in Haryana in 1987. The State had been ruled by a Congress party led government since 1982. Chaudhary Devi Lal, then an opposition leader, led a movement called ‘Nyaya Yudh’ (Struggle for Justice) and formed a new party, Lok Dal. His party joined other opposition parties to form a front against the Congress in the elections. In the election campaign, Devi Lal said that if his party won the elections, his
  • 8. WHY DO WE NEED ELECTIONS 1. Elections take place regularly in any democracy. 2. Why do we need elections? Let us try to imagine a democracy without elections. A rule of the people is possible without any elections if all the people can sit together everyday and take all the decisions. But as we have already seen in Chapter Two, this is not possible in any large community. Nor is it possible for everyone to have the time and knowledge to take decisions on all matters. Therefore in most democracies people rule through their representatives. 3. Is there a democratic way of selecting representatives without elections? Let us think of a place where representatives are selected on the basis of age and experience. Or a place where they are chosen on the basis of education or knowledge. There could be some difficulty in deciding on who is more experienced or knowledgable. But let us say the people can resolve these difficulties. Clearly, such a place does not require elections.

How do we ensure that these representatives rule as per the wishes of the people? 4. How to make sure that those who the people don’t like do not remain their representatives?
  • 11. WHY DO WE NEED ELECTIONS Answer . 1. This requires a mechanism by which people can choose their representatives at regular intervals and change them if they wish to do so. 2. This mechanism is called election. Therefore, elections are considered essential in our times for any representative democracy. 3. In an election the voters make many choices: 1. They can choose who will make laws for them. 2. They can choose who will form the government and take major decisions. 3. They can choose the party whose policies will guide the government and law making

  • 18. FOR MAGESH In 1911, the German socialist Robert Michels published Political Parties, his analysis of socialist politics and the tendency for the structure of the modern electoral system to blunt revolutionary drives in leftist parties and towards reforms. This tension was the source of the early-20th century reform/revolution debate between Bernstein, Luxembourg, and Kautsky, and more recently the Realo/Fundi debate in the Germany Green Party. We propose to examine the tendency of leftist parties committed to social transformation to bend to the realities of the representative electoral system and abandon revolutionary aims once they have a chance of becoming a successful electoral machine. Is this an inevitable result of electoral politics in the modern era? Is there another way for left-wing political parties to remain committed to radical change? Or is a new approach necessary after a century of engagement with electoral politics? Is Michel's Iron Law of Oligarchy too strong to break?
