16. Read the text and complete tasks C1-C2

“In modern conditions, for the majority of the population, the main, and often the only form of participation in politics is the electoral process. Elections in democratic countries cover all levels of government: from central to local. General elections allow voters to make an informed choice in favor of the program for the further development of the country that best suits their interests.

During the election campaign, it is important to ensure equality of opportunity for all parties and candidates participating in the elections. To achieve this, in many countries the state takes over the financing of election campaigns. Another principle concerns the organization of pre-election discussions: candidates undertake to avoid falsifications and insults to their

opponents. And finally, during this period the state apparatus must remain neutral, without interfering in the course of the election campaign.

The laws of many countries specify the requirements for candidates for elected public office. They most often include a minimum age limit, a residency requirement, and professional suitability for the position sought.

Currently, the vast majority of countries have universal suffrage. At the same time, in a number of states voting is not only a right, but also an obligation. Failure to comply will result in a penalty, most often a fine.
