Election Accountability

Election accountability refers to the responsibility of elected officials to act in the best interests of their constituents and to be answerable for their decisions and actions. It ensures that politicians are transparent about their policies, adhere to the law, and fulfill their campaign promises. When officials are accountable, voters can evaluate their performance, hold them responsible through voting or other means, and demand improvements or changes. This process maintains trust in democratic systems, encouraging leaders to govern ethically and effectively, knowing they are ultimately answerable to the people they serve.
