Elections are politically divided into direct elections, indirect elections, equal elections and differential elections.
From this point of view, lottery is not an election method, which requires a certain probability. It does not conform to the fairness, justice and rationality of the election.
These four election methods have their own advantages and disadvantages (copy):
1. Direct election: an election method in which voters directly vote for candidates. It can give every voter a chance to express his will. Choosing the most trustworthy family members in your mind can directly and accurately express the wishes of voters, ensure citizens to exercise their right to vote and stimulate their political enthusiasm.
2. Indirect election: In the case of a large number and wide distribution of voters, voters first elect their own representatives, and then the representatives elect the representatives at the next higher level or government leaders. It can reduce the difficulty and cost of organizational work, but it is difficult to express the wishes of every voter.
3. Equal election: an election method in which the number of formal candidates is equal to the number of candidates to be elected. Equal election can consider the rationality of representativeness and representative structure when determining candidates, but it will limit voters' free choice and affect their enthusiasm.
4. Differential election: an election method in which the number of formal candidates exceeds the number of candidates to be elected. Differential election can provide voters with the choice to exercise their right to vote, and it can also form corresponding competition among voters. This is a relatively common election method. In the differential election, candidates introduce their election methods to voters in the form of speeches and defenses in accordance with established rules. It is helpful for voters to understand voters, but if it is not effectively regulated, it will easily lead to false propaganda and money transactions.
