TYPES OF DEMOCRACY

According to the political scientists there are two types of democracy i.e. direct democracy and indirect democracy.

Direct democracy is a type of democracy in which people directly express their views and participate in the deliberative and administrative affairs of the state directly. The method of election for the Provincial assemblies in Pakistan is based upon the concept of direct democracy where the people use the ballet box directly.

Indirect democracy is a type of democracy in which people do not express their view directly. Rather their representatives on behalf of the people cast their votes. The method of election for the Senate in Pakistan, for instance, is based upon the concept of indirect democracy
