Answer 1

Dear Student,

Some methods of reforms in electoral system can be as follows:

• Making false declarations in connection with election to be an offence.
• The candidate should contest from only one constituency and if not then such candidates should deposit Rs.500000 to Rs1000000 to bear bye election expenditure. The security deposit has to be increased to discourage non serious candidates.
• The person who is accused of serious criminal offences should be kept away from electoral arena.
• Transparency in public life improves transparency in elections. So, contesting candidate must disclose his assets, liabilities, convicted and pending cases against him.
• Introducing two ballot system and negative vote system would discourage criminal elements from being elected.
