The primary focus of this book is the pattern of elections—how they are conducted, their frequency, voting systems, and their impact on democratic outcomes. Elections are the cornerstone of democracy, serving as the mechanism through which citizens express their will and hold leaders accountable. By examining the electoral frameworks of 10 leading democracies—United States, United Kingdom, Germany, India, France, Japan, Canada, Brazil, Switzerland, and South Africa—we aim to uncover the strengths, challenges, and nuances of each system.
