Election: Selection by vote for an office or for membership.
Democracy: Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives
Liberty: Freedom from external (as governmental) restraint, compulsion, or interference in engaging in the pursuits or conduct of one's choice to the extent that they are lawful and not harmful to others; enjoyment of the rights enjoyed by others in a society free of arbitrary or unreasonable limitation or interference
Note: It is VERY dangerous to confuse these concept. See "Iraq" and "Hamas."
