An election is a formal process through which voters select individuals for public office or decide on specific policy issues. It typically involves a voting procedure that allows eligible citizens to express their preferences for candidates or referendums. Elections can be held at various levels, including local, regional, and national, and they are fundamental to democratic governance, as they provide a mechanism for accountability and participation in decision-making. The process often includes campaigning, where candidates promote their platforms, as well as the organization of voting logistics, such as polling stations and ballot design. The outcome of an election can lead to changes in leadership, policy direction, or governance structures, reflecting the will of the electorate.
