Abstract:
The main focus of this research is to understand the significance and efficacy of the Indian election. Elections form the bedrock of every electoral democracy and India is no alien to this practice. Elections in India are conducted with great enthusiasm since the voter turnout is humungous. However, elections in our country are far from being perfect and many electoral malpractices are committed not only by the candidates but also by the voters. The government along with the Election Commission of India, over the years, has undertaken key initiatives to make sure the elections are conducted in a free and fair manner. Legislations like- The Representation of the People Act, 1951, Conduct of Election Rules, 1961 and The Model Code of Conduct, have ensured that electoral malpractices are curbed and the significance of the voter in an election is maintained. The Research also looks into the provisions of the Representation of the People Act, 1951 and discusses in detail about the corrupt practices which are committed by the candidates. Furthermore, the efficacy and importance of the Model Code of Conduct is also discussed.
