Legal framework

Unless there is proper law covering the electoral system and giving mandate to carry out elections, the legality of those elections and government formed thereafter would not be acceptable by any forum.
The important components of law are the procedure,regulatory body(s),executing/implementing agency(s)and legitimacy.Law should be clearly defined and reforms should be made so as to cover all aspects.
Judicial decisions are always taken to formulate the process.So
important components are to be included from time to time keeping in view the needs of time.
Determination of seats,delimitations of boundaries, eligibility of voters and contestants etc are the basic features of reforms.
