India needs urgent Electoral reforms with a right to recall process of Non-performing and incompetent representatives/MLAs/MPs, after assessing them on yearly basis. Delhi and Bihar state elections show that a few corrupt and criminal candidates are elected as MLAs for the next 5 years with all perks & privileges making a mockery of democracy. They can continue their corrupt ways using their clout and syndication for the next 5 years unchecked and without any accountability making common men and voters’ mere spectators. Delivery of good governance and accountability must be made strict parameters of the assessment.

Those who fail the qualifying assessment for a second consecutive year should be impeached & by voters with the right to recall process. Voting must be made compulsory offering online facilities with the help of webcams for identification. All sections of the society should be brought to the mainstream including the dissident organizations that boycott elections now. Those who get at least a certain percentage of polled votes only should be elected. The same percentage can be applied as parameter for the impeachment & recall process also.                 

India is the largest democracy in the world and its people deserve a better governance system. In certain European democracies such a system exists where voters can recall their elected representative before their full tenure.
