Elections conducted in a democracy must be “free, fair, and based on universal suffrage concepts of secrecy as an expression of the people’s sovereignty”. These features must concur and coexist with the other “essential components of democracy” contained in the Interamerican Democratic Charter, namely; “the respect for human rights and individual basic freedoms, have access to become the government and discharge its duties subject to the rule of law, have a plurality of political parties and organizations, and have the separation and independence of the branches of government”.
