Abstract

This paper explores the consequences of political censorship on the legitimacy of electoral processes and government formation. It gives an overview of the mechanisms of censorship, such as media, information manipulation, and the stifling of opposition voices, to weigh their impact on democratic practices. Using case studies and interviews, the study seeks to uncover the relationship between political censorship and electoral integrity. The paper also aims to find out to what extent a government can censor any kind of information and how it can affect a person’s ability to decide on which party to vote for. When censorship affects the decision of a voter then is it fair and lawful? The paper intends to find answers to such questions that affect or interact with concepts of intellectual censorship and political theology. The paper’s main objective is to analyze the relationship between political theology and censorship to reach a conclusion regarding whether or not censorship actually affects one’s decision to vote.
