ABSTRACT

In the electoral process of all democracies a voter makes two basic decisions regarding elections. At first, he decides whether he will vote or not. If he decides to vote, then he has to decide, to which party and or candidate he will support.

Voting constitutes only one element of a much more extensive repertoire of political participation, but it is the most basic democratic act that all citizens should perform on a regular basis.

The basic assumption underlying this study is that the young voter’s perceptions on the influence of caste in politics, election campaign and role of print media at the time of election.
