One Person One Vote One Value
One Person One Vote One Value
One Person, One Vote, One Value: As we have read in the previous chapter that the struggle for democracy was linked to the demand for Universal Adult Franchise. This principle has now come to be accepted almost all over the world. However, there are many instances of denial of the equal Right to vote.
• In Saudi Arabia, women do not have the Right to Vote.
• Estonia has made its citizenship rules in such a way that people belonging to Russian minority find it difficult to get the Right to Vote.
• In Fiji, the electoral system is such that the vote of an indigenous Fijian has more value than that of an Indian-Fijian.
It stresses on, political equality. It means that everyone in the country irrespective of the caste, colour, gender, creed and income earned is allowed to vote for his own representative, i.e., the choice and opportunity is available to all the citizens on an equal basis without any discrimination on the basis of gender, caste, colour, etc. The policy of one person, one vote, and one value should be followed in a democracy
Democracy is based on a fundamental principle of political equality. That gives us the third feature of democracy; In a democracy, each adult citizen must have one vote and each vote must have one value.
The correct expression is “One person, One vote AND One Vote, One value.” This is a classic definition of universal suffrage in a democracy.
The Chairman of the Constitution Drafting Committee for India, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar had this to say about India (my highlight)
“On the 26th of January 1950, we are going to enter into a life of contradictions. In politics we will have equality and in social and economic life we will have inequality.
In politics we will be recognizing the principle of one man one vote and one vote one value.
