1.Preparation of voter 's list: In a democratic election, the list of those who are eligible to vote is prepared much before the election and given to everyone.this list is officially called the Electoral Roll and is commonly known as the Voter 's list.
2. Nomination of candidates : The only difference is that in order to be a candidate the minimum age is 25 while it is only 18 years for being a voter. Every person who wishes to contest an election has to fill a 'nomination form ' and give some money as 'security deposit '
3. Election Campaign: It is necessary to have a free and fare and open discussion about who is a better representative ,which party will make a better govt. or what is a good policy. This is what happens during the election campaign.
4. Polling and counting of votes: The final stage of an election is the day when the voter 's cast or "poll" their vote. Every person whose name is on the voters list can go to a nearby "polling booth"  situated usually in a  local school or a govt. office.

The main purpose of election is to give people a chance to choose the representatives, the government and the policies they prefer. Therefore it is necessary to have a free and open discussion about who is a better representative, which party will make a better government or what is a good policy. This is what happens during election campaigns.
In our country, such campaigns take place for a two-week period between the announcement of the final list of candidates and the date of polling. During this period the candidates contact their voters, political leaders address election meetings and political parties mobilise their supporters. This is also the period when newspapers and television news are full of election-related stories and debates. But an election campaign is not limited to these two weeks only. Political parties start preparing for elections months before they actually take place.
