Various challenges of Indian elections are:

• Big parties with large amount of money are not sure of their victory during elections but are able to gain undue advantage over smaller parties and independent candidates.
• Many candidates with serious criminal records have been able to secure party tickets for themselves. Honest candidates in such situation are pushed to the periphery.
• Some parties are dominated by a family or few families. These families distribute tickets to their relatives.
• Ideologies of most of the political parties may be identical to each other and hence are not able to offer large choices to the citizens.
