Political participation is normally associated with the modern form of democracy. In this political system, participation by the individual in political activity is considered a virtue, a sign of political health and the best method of ensuring one’s private interests. Participation gives an opportunity to express one’s own point of view and secure the greatest good for the greatest number. It provides citizens a sense of dignity and value, alerts both the rulers and the ruled to their duties and responsibilities and facilitates broader political understanding. By involving people in the affairs of the state, participation promotes stability and order in the system. It not only stimulates political learning but also makes citizens responsible. It deepens the political awareness and increases the sense of political effectiveness.Taking part in the political processes which lead to the selection of political leaders or determine or influence public policy is generally known as political participation. Despite the fact that elections are the major event in the political process, political participation cannot be limited to only electoral process, i.e., voting and campaigning.
