what is election? how do people vote in election?
Election:
The act of a party casting votes to elect an individual for some type of position. Elections may involve a public or private vote depending on the position. Most positions in the local, state, and federal governments are voting on in some type of election.
Places like cities, states, and countries hold elections too. These elections usually decide on new leaders or new laws for that area. One of the most important parts of these elections is that everyone gets a fair and equal vote. Another important part of an election is that the voters have a choice in what they’re voting on. Imagine voting on something without any options, and being forced to vote for just one choice – that wouldn't be a very meaningful vote at all.
Voting is an excellent way to give people a choice in the decisions that will affect them, which is why people have been using systems of elections for thousands of years.
