Election Commission’s Response to Critiques and Questions

• The Election Commission (EC) is facing criticism for its handling of allegations of “vote chori” by Rahul Gandhi and the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar.

• The EC’s response has been criticized for shifting the burden of proof onto voters, a move seen as exclusion rather than inclusion.

• Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar emphasized the need for due process for complaints about fraudulent voters and lists, and the need for the poll monitor to consider voter privacy.

• The Supreme Court has intervened on the SIR, upholding the EC’s power to carry out the exercise while urging it to display more transparency.

• The EC has published a list of 65 lakh names deleted from the draft rolls in the first phase of the SIR, providing reasons for the deletions.

• The EC must recognize the stakes in these controversies and strive to be fair and independent.

• The EC must take the process forward with responsibility and humility, and a conviction that it is a constitutional authority that needs to address every question.

Electoral Process Transparency is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
