India, the world's largest democracy, has an election process that is different from most other countries. It takes place in 7 stages over the course of 6 weeks. We can connect this to lesson 8 which discusses the voting process. This article also includes an infographic showing how the government is formed which connects nicely to lesson 2 on the US branches of government. The article also shows how their ballots have symbols like logos to help people associate themselves with political parties. This can be connected to lesson 4 on political parties.
