PROCESS OF DEMOCRATIC ELECTIONS IN COLOMBIA 

In politics, it is a process where decisions are made in which people choose by voting the candidate of their choice who should take the positions of the political post or it is also a decision that involves the country and needs the vote of the people, there are several types of elections the municipal, regional or general elections, which are in charge of electing members of Parliament or the legislative branch. In many political systems you can see other positions in the elections.In Colombia, the elections are controlled by the National Electoral Council, which is responsible for telling or giving information about the elections and their results to the centrally elected candidates who are the president and the congress. The Congress has two chambers: the House of Representatives has 163 members, The Senate has 102 members who are elected for a term of 4 years. The president is elected for a period of 4 years.

The congress is set up for the Senate and the representative chamber and belongs to a legislative branch. Its function is; reform the constitution, have a draft of the law up to the file or approved and also impose a political control over the government and the administration. Actually, in the Senate of the Republic there are one hundred and two senators, one hundred are elected for the vote of the citizens in the national territory and the other two are the representation of the indigenous communities, they were elected with a special circumscription, all these people are a representation of the nation. Well I will talk about the elections in Colombia for the congress in 2018. There were many political parties that participated, for example: Democratic center, radical change, change liberal, conservative party, green, polo, etc. Each political party had its own candidate for the election, if the citizens had to vote for the proposal that has most caught their attention.

Also in Colombia for many people are very controversial because most people think or say that most of the politicians are only looking to rob the community and for many people it is difficult to think that our policy is completely corrupt, provided that in the country there are elections everyone thinks and knows that most things or promises that candidates make are false because they always promise things they can not give, they just do it to convince people that they are the candidates they should vote for , for some of these reasons which people say "I do not trust the elections" or "they are all corrupt".

Another habit of candidates for politics is the purchase of votes they usually do with low-income people and they promise big things and their need only if they vote for him and believe that this should not happen, but still something happens that I have noticed is that all people think that when the candidates are in the process to achieve their goal in the application, they do not trust each one, but when they finally achieve their goal, they fulfill their benefits for them
