Explanation:

In politics, elections are a decision-making process in which voters choose, with their vote, among a plurality of candidates to whom they will hold political office in a representative democracy. There are general elections (those that are called to elect the members of the parliament or legislative branch, and, where appropriate, the head of the State or the executive branch) and local, municipal or regional elections. In some political systems other positions are also submitted to popular election.
