India
In spite of India's strong democratic tradition, communal, caste, regional, and religious tensions-as well as gender inequalities-persist.

Election Management
Election management covers the roles, functions, organization, financing, management of Electoral Management Bodies (EMBs). It focuses on the institutional structure of EMBs, their administrative infrastructure, the work they do, and their external environment.
Election Law
Election law includes specific issues related to legal and administrative regulations which can be seen as fundamental for any election which aspires to be undertaken in a free and fair way.
Education
Education addresses the voters' motivation and preparedness to participate fully in elections. It pertains to relatively more complex types of information about voting and the electoral process and is concerned with the link between basic human rights and voting rights.
