Who can vote depends on the country and its laws. Generally, citizens of a country are allowed to vote in elections. In some countries, only certain groups of people are allowed to vote, such as those over a certain age or those with certain qualifications. Who chooses the leadership also depends on the country and its laws. In a democracy, the people choose their leaders through a voting process. Examples of representative government include the United States, the United Kingdom, India, and Canada. In these countries, citizens elect representatives to represent them in government. These representatives then make decisions on behalf of the people.
