Behind every vote, lies a story of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication
THE MARCH OF DEMOCRACY – is more than just a documentary. It’s a testament to the human spirit and the power of ordinary individuals who ensure the heartbeat of democracy stays strong and steady.
Here is a story of those unsung heroes, who make the world’s biggest election possible.
The Indian election, known for its vastness and complexity, stands as one of the largest democratic exercises in the world. With over 968 million eligible voters, the logistics of conducting a nationwide election are staggering. The process spans several weeks and involves extensive planning and coordination across diverse and often remote regions.
The Election Commission of India oversees the deployment of millions of electronic voting machines (EVMs) and ensures the involvement of a substantial workforce to manage polling stations and maintain security.
The sheer scale of the Indian election reflects the country’s vibrant democracy, characterized by its multitude of political parties, a broad spectrum of candidates, and a dynamic electorate that actively participates in shaping the nation’s governance.
This mammoth exercise not only demonstrates the robustness of Indian democracy but also highlights the challenges and triumphs inherent in such an extensive democratic process.
