In a democracy, one function of regular elections is...

1. to force citizens to cast their vote.
2. to enable a change of government according to the will of the majority of voters. ✓
3. to maintain existing laws in the country.
4. to give more power to the poor.

Regular elections give the people the power to decide if they are happy with their leaders or want a fresh start. This peaceful transition of power is what makes a democracy truly work!
