    Explanation:
    Critical development efforts cannot succeed without a legitimate and democratically elected government that is responsive and accountable to its citizens. Elections provide an important opportunity to advance democratization and encourage political liberalization. 
    • For an election to be free and fair, certain civil liberties, such as the freedoms of speech, association and assembly, are required. 
    • Elections can be a primary tool to foster political openings and expand political participation. 
    • Electoral processes offer political parties and civic groups an opportunity to mobilize and organize supporters and share alternative platforms with the public. 
    • Elections also serve to encourage political debate and public dialogue.
