What to Focus On

  • Elections make representative democracy possible.
  • Citizens choose representatives instead of directly deciding every issue.
  • The Constitution fixes basic election rules to protect fairness.

  • FPTP is the main electoral system for Lok Sabha and State Assemblies.
  • The winner is the candidate with the highest votes in a constituency.
  • A winner does not need 50%+1 votes.

  • PR gives parties seats in proportion to their vote share.
  • Voters usually vote for parties, not individual candidates.
  • India uses PR only for indirect elections on a limited scale.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

In FPTP, a candidate must get more than 50% of the votes to win.

India uses proportional representation for Lok Sabha and State Assembly elections.

In PR, voters vote for individual candidates in the same way as FPTP.
