Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
A permanent constitutional authority (Article 324) responsible for superintendence, direction, and control of electoral processes. Led by the Chief Election Commissioner and other commissioners, it conducts free and fair elections for Parliament, state legislatures, and the offices of President and Vice President. Empaneled with quasi-judicial powers, it oversees the model code of conduct, regulates campaign finances, and updates electoral rolls. The Commission enforces discipline among parties/candidates, ensuring democratic legitimacy. It can order re-polls in cases of malpractices. Over time, the ECI has introduced EVMs, VVPAT, and other technological reforms to enhance transparency and reduce electoral fraud. Its independence underpins India’s electoral democracy.
