Representative democracy is a form of government where the citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf. It is characterized by free and fair elections, where citizens have the opportunity to vote and choose their leaders. A proper register of voters is also maintained to ensure that only eligible voters participate in the election process. In a representative democracy, the elected representatives are expected to represent the interests of all citizens, including the poor and marginalized, and not just the interests of a politically educated elite or special interest groups. The ultimate aim is to have a government that is accountable to the people and responsive to their needs and aspirations.
