What procedure must taken in the election process of democratic government?
Democratic is a form of government by the people and for the people.
One responsibility that is only for US citizens is the right to vote in federal elections. Only US citizens are eligible to participate in the democratic process by voting for their representatives in the federal government. Non-citizens, including permanent residents, do not have this right.
A strong democratic tradition can be surmised to mean that a nation or other entity has consistently enforced the ability of it's citizens or representatives to vote. The more democratic, the stronger the democratic process is.
Robert Dahl's five criteria for an ideal democratic government are effective participation (citizens have equal opportunity to express preferences), voting equality (each vote has equal weight), enlightened understanding (citizens have access to information and understand it), control of the agenda (citizens have opportunities to place issues on the policy agenda), and inclusiveness (all adult citizens are able to participate in the decision-making process). These criteria are used to assess the level of democracy in a society.
