India is the largest democratic country in the world. The government here is elected through elections every five years. The citizens of the country directly participate in this electoral process. Any citizen of the country who is 18 years of age or above can register himself to vote and participate in the electoral process by exercising the right to vote. According to the Indian Constitution, the Election Commission has the right to conduct regular, free and fair elections in the country. All matters related to conducting elections and post-election disputes have been included under the Representation of the People Act 1950 and the Representation of the People Act 1951. Voter oath has played a very important role in the development of Indian democracy. This oath not only addresses the leaders and public representatives towards the values and policies of democracy, but it also gives a sense of shared responsibility to the citizens and makes them active participants in their democracy.
