 First, everyone should be able to
choose. This means that everyone
should have one vote and every
vote should have equal value. S e c o n d ,   t h e r e   s h o u l d   b e
something to choose from. Parties
and candidates should be free to
contest elections and should offer
some real choice to the voters.
 Third, the choice should be offered
at regular intervals. Elections must
be held regularly after every few
years.
 Fourth, the candidate preferred by
the people should get elected.

  • FOUNDATIONAL CHALLANGE = it means making a transition to democracy and then instituting a democratic government.It also involves bringing down the non-democratic regime, keeping military away from controlling the government and establishing a sovereign and a functional state.
  • CHALLANGE OF EXPANSION = it involves applying all the basic principles of democracy across all regions ,social groups and different institutions.Ensuring greator power to the local governments,extention of federal principles to all units of federations, inclusion of women,minorities etc also fall under this challange.
  • DEEPENING OF DEMOCRACY = it simply means strengthening the institutions and the practices of democracy.It is faced by every country in one form or the other. It generally means strenthening those institutions which are under peoples paticipation and control.It requires an attempt to bring down the influence of the rich and the powerful in controlling government decisions...
