Free and fair electoral competition

In this Class 9 Civics topic from “What is Democracy? Why Democracy?”, students examine why elections must provide voters with a genuine choice among competing parties and candidates. They learn how clear rules, equal opportunities, regular elections, secret ballots, and independent oversight help make electoral competition fair. The topic also explains how excessive money power, intimidation, unfair use of government resources, or restricted participation can weaken democracy, while meaningful competition makes elected representatives more accountable to citizens.
