Detailed Solution

This statement is false.
The outcome of an election is a vital determinant of free and fair elections. If the election process is not free and fair, the consequence will always favour the powerful. However, that is not the case in India. In India, the losing party does not accept the outcome of an election. The following outcomes of elections were seen in India, the ruling party routinely loses the elections, candidates bribing the voters often lose the election, and the losing parties have accepted electoral outcomes as people’s verdict. Therefore, we can say that the result of the election is an appropriate measure of the fairness of the elections.
The correct statement would be, Outcomes of an election are an appropriate measure of free and fair elections.
