Detailed Solution

The choice should not be offered at regular intervals is not a factor that makes an election democratic. To call any election democratic, we need to ensure a few things. Simply holding the polls doesn't make any regime democratic. People should have a specific range of options from which they can choose. Everyone must be free to contest elections as this would allow various opinions to be represented. If the people prefer a particular candidate or a party, they must win, and no extra-constitutional means should be used to deprive them of the opportunity. If these elections are not held at regular periods, there is no assurance for the people about the time for which they elect a particular candidate.
