What makes an election democratic?

Elections are held in non-democratic countries like Pakistan and China also. Such
elections, however, cannot be called democratic. There are certain conditions which make an
election democratic. These are as mentioned below:
(i) Everyone should have one vote and every vote should have equal value.
(ii) Parties and candidates should be free to contest elections and should offer some real
choice to the voters.
(iii) Elections must be held regularly after every few years.
(iv) The candidate preferred by the people should get elected.
(v) Elections should he conducted in a free and fair manner.
The above are simple and easy conditions” But there are many countries where these are not fulfilled like China.
