Electoral Rolls
An electoral roll is a list of people who have enrolled to vote for particular elections in a
particular jurisdiction. The Election Commission of India is a permanent Constitutional Body
that Prepares and periodically revises electoral rolls and registers all eligible voters.

There are three main types of electoral systems that are widely used across the
globe:

 Plurality electoral systems: It awards the seat to the candidate who receives the most
votes. It is also known as first-past-the-post system.
 Majority electoral systems: In this system, a candidate has to win a majority (more than
50% of the votes). A majority system requires a majority or 50%+1 votes, to win.
 Proportional representation: The percentage of total votes that a political party
receives is translated into the number of seats that party will have.
 Evm
India experienced the use of ballot papers till the 1990s. The country was using
paper ballots and the votes were counted manually. Then came a portable
instrument that helped in the conduct of elections to the parliament, legislature,
and local bodies. The voting system has changed over the years with the
introduction of electronic voting machine (EVM). With the ongoing election
happening across the state of Gujarat, the voters are voting through EVM instead
of ballot papers.
