to promote 'democracy' right? and i suppose freedom of speech along with it. also the notion of separation of powers, between the different parts of the government - not to allow the same individuals to decide what people get what posts.

Elections are held to put elected representatives into office. We elect people to run our governments & to represent us (ideally to make decisions which will benefit society as a whole).
If there were no elections, then our leaders could go unchecked, and could do anything they wanted to do with virtually no consequences.
