Public elections are the key element of a democratic country, as the right of a republic is derived from the right of its inhabitants. These mandatory elections are also a human right as stated in article 3 of the protocol to the convention of human rights to guarantee free and secret elections. 1 These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
