What is the significance of Voter’s list?

For democratic elections, a list is prepared of people who are eligible for voting much before the election and is given to all, which is officially known as Electoral Roll and more commonly as the Voters’ List. Each voter has an equal opportunity for the selection of their representatives.

Voters are basically the owners of the country and it is the duty of the government to get the names of all those persons, who have the right to vote.  As this is an important tool in the hands of so-called citizens, they also have the power to change the world, by choosing their favorite leader, and then they will be a member of Parliament or be a part of the Government and will make laws that affect their lives. They all are going to vote in secret, for whom they wish as their leader. India is a democratic country where people or voters use their power in decision-making, to choose their leaders:

  1. That means that in India we have free and fair elections.
  2. Anyone who is eligible to vote also has the right to vote. Citizens are free to vote in secret, that is without any pressure from anyone.
  3. Everyone in a democratic country gets an equal opportunity to choose their leaders.
