National elections

National elections are political processes where eligible citizens vote to choose leaders or decide on policies that affect the entire country. Usually, they include selecting a president, members of parliament or congress, and sometimes referendums on important issues. These elections are held periodically, following constitutional rules, to ensure government legitimacy and accountability. Voters cast their ballots to express their preferences, which are counted to determine the winners. The process upholds democratic principles by allowing citizens to participate in shaping their government and its decisions directly or indirectly through representatives.
