| description | This paper discusses the use and role of media among voters during elections. Electronic and print media, and other communication sources play a vital role in disseminating information about politics, public affairs and current events. Information increases a person’s interest and knowledge of politics, and provides him substance to hold his opinion on issues. The information obtained from the traditional and the new media or from interpersonal sources, enable voters to make reasoned decision when casting their votes during elections.
