Price hike and election

Prices of daily commodities are increasing day by day. People are just dragging on their lives. They hardly can buy all the necessary things from the market. The government is trying to keep the prices under control, but it has not succeeded so far. On the other hand, the government is determined to arrange the national election within the scheduled timeframe and almost every day we hear something about it. My question is, if the people do not survive, then who will vote in the national polls?
